Of course they will, with the pick ups being that far away from the strings, they'll be saying they couldn't hear the bass.

Thank you...I was wondering how the pick ups would generate any sound when they're so far away...

I don't understand why someone would order a custom instrument then play it for 2 hours, then sell it? Putting to one side the daftness of the customisations, surely they're personal to the one who ordered it thus you'd order what you want - then use it - and the value/worth would be much less for anyone else.

At least with the PUPs where they are they'll be able to hear what each other are saying?

What a clown for building that, not hard to guess why he's selling it....?

I think they already do this - pretty sure it's called a piezo or lightwave system!




Or just go with the ramp look:

You could of course get the pickups closer to the strings by lowering the bridge and neck or raising the front of the body. could be done fairly cheaply - as long as you weren't after "Exhibition Grade" figured wood for the cap or having a custom low profile bridge engineered up!

Not exactly, it received some bids but didn't get to reserve. Not surprising when you see the BIN price. For some reason, people seem even less enthusiastic about bidding for it now it's been relisted.

If you really want a stealth bass like this, get a Variax (you may have to paint it black and put sticky-back plastic on the pickguard though).
