fatboytoo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Try the seymour duncan link below. You're gonna need to have some form of switching (I'd guess), so you'll have to add another pot to the PB, unless you go stacked (if you can get them/afford them!)

waynepunkdude Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Looking forward to seeing it when it's done, got fond memories of that bass. Did you get the neck plate OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabskiboab Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah, that was a damn good looking bass. The black hardware only made it better. Just the sound didn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
