Basses With Unused Pickup Routs

[Guest]

I like to think that Malcolm Young would approve

Could maybe fit a Twirl in there? Due to shrinkflation they’re approximately the size of a J pickup

I was thinking of extinguishing a cigarette in it, as a kind of mojo starter.

Draw a ‘cock and balls’ around the pickup rout and potentiometer holes and have done with it.

Nice... I have some little rubber plug for the control holes..

Unused, Filled or modified routs... Ibby SR Passive Conversions

To cover the holes for aesthetic reasons, unless it doesn’t bother you in which case you have somewhere to keep your lipstick.

I rather like the look of it which is why I posted it in

 

 

hoping to see similar examples. My lipstick is quite happy in my makeup bag alongside my eyeliner, mascara  foundation and powder.

The two vacant control holes on mine are sealed up on the inside, to keep the cavity clean. Not sure what my tech used to do that, though.

After seeing your post, got inspired...

Epi T'Bird Pro IV with the guts ripped out, a DiMazio One screwed in up-front and wearing Flats...

I like the way the Maple and Walnut of the thru neck run thru the Bridge Cavity between the mahogany wings. I gave the bare wood edges a little Danish Oil to blend it in.

From the front and 10' away don't notice... but i know its special needs...
