Who made those custom pickups? And toneblock is maple.

Ok, I was told it was alder. I don't know who made the pick ups. But the bass was custom ordered with these.

I found the old add. It's Fodera/Duncan Dual coils and it's definitely alder tone block.

Not the pickups are custom, the (ebony) covers are. Very useful upgrade btw.

Sweet bass! I have both MG's with both alder and maple toneblock. Your bass is looks like maple toneblock. However the Maple toneblock are a 250 dollars upcharge and is a really nice toneblock imho

Ok. You are second to say so. But it has this red-ish colour that I know from alder. But maybe you're right. I'm no expert on woods. Thank's anyway!

Looks like alder to me - I think the maple toneblocks they use are nearly always flamed - the flash photography probably makes it look lighter than it really is.

We should do a poll. 🙂

You're right. In real the block looks more red than on the pics.

Plus I found the original add from this bass (pre-previous owner) and there was written that it's alder...
