There's been a lot of sliding pickup things over the years but that really does demonstrate how pickup position really is the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Guy: "I like the hole, makes it look like someone's knocked it up in a shed or something..." Warwick: "That'll be £3,500 please" Nobody: "Fantastic, I'll have two..." 😁 Great idea, though - I can never understand all the hoohah about tonewoods, when this is soooo much more influential on sound... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceBass3901 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 15 hours ago, visog said: I built something very similar to this for my final year degree project , as a test bed for different positions and types of pickups. I think I even included a reference image of this bass as a reference image and quoted Guy's discussion on the reasoning for the mobile pickups.

Grahambythesea Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Sounds good or is that Guy’s playing? When a Gibson made a sliding pickup bass it also had a sliding cover over the hole which would look a lot better and stop the hole filling up with dust, fluff and and all sorts of other detritus. I like the body shape and the sunburst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
