Owen Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I went to the Midlands Bass Bash. I played a G&L CLF L1000. I then played my MM5. I realised that the L1000 had a certain je ne sais quoi which I desire. Do they make them in 5 format? Do they heck. I am thinking of options. The easiest is to get an empty MM5 pickup shell and whack an L series 5 string pickup in there. And get a wiring harness made up for the full L1000 experience. I am fully aware that the pickup will be in the wrong place but can live with that while I prove the concept. If I like it I can get a new scratchplate and get frisky with a router to that correct pickup placement. Can I find an empty MM5 pickup shell? Can I heck. Can anyone put me on to one? I suppose I could get one printed. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
