    Yes, I’ve used Gemini. I had a Rickenbacker type pickup inside a Thunderbird case. Pretty good and first class service.

    Just wanted to add that the nut width is a nice slim (for a P) 40mm

    I had one bass for 35 years until I discovered BC. I have since gone through over 50 since 2011 and currently have 15! 😉

    This is a little bit special. No longer made Cabronita Precision, in very good condition, just a couple of minor marks/play wear. The pick up has been replaced by a hand wound unit by Jess Loueiro using traditional P bass magnets/wiring, but in the mini humbucker format. It’s had a KiOgon wiring loom & the bridge has been replaced by a grooved vintage style unit. Light weight & well balanced.

    I’m still looking for the holy grail, but ss wise I have the Harley Benton HB-60, Epi de-luxe masterbuilt, Squier Bronco, Rob Allen Mouse, Ibanez SRC60. It’s quite an eclectic bunch!

    I’m 6’6” and don’t want a small bass; but I like s.s. because of the “plummy” sound and that they also seem to have good G strings, ie not thin sounding. I also appreciate that with less stretch between frets they are great to play and the notes fall to hand more easily. With shorter length there should be less neck dive (which I dislike) however due to poor design, that’s not always the case. The other bonus is that they often fit across the width of a British cars boot!

    And I’m the same with Zoe Ball, Elaine Paige and Steve Wright! Maybe I’m not keen on Radio 2 after all 🤔

    Oh well, there you go; when I turn on the radio and it’s Liza, I turn it over! Can’t stand her “delivery”. Horses for courses! 😉

    The new Ricky 5 would be around a 33’ scale. Don’t know what it’s like though.
  11. Storky

    The name is Jess Loureiro. I originally found the Cabronita pickup on eBay. There’s no contact info on the box, but there may be a web site; I’ll see what I can dig out.

    I’m still in. Coronavirus restrictions are helping to temper the GAS,

    I’ve got the 4 string version. Actually like it, but would be interested to get a Spector fretted neck if I can find one that fits so I can choose fretted or fretless. Some of the cheeper Spector basses look yo have the same neck fitting; anyone know for sure?

    Gosh that’s heavy! I think mine was about 8lbs

    Lovely! Be interested to hear your thoughts when you get it.
  19. Storky
    Very nice!

    Love them. I’ve got two fretted Rob Allens; a 5 string Mouse and a MB2. Would love to get a Deep 4 or 5 though.

    There was a guy in Spain making hand wound Cabronita pick ups. He used the same magnets and wire as in a standard P but in a Cabronita format. I grabbed one last year for my Squier Cabronita and it dropped right in. It sounds great.
  22. Storky
    Love the burst Cabronita!
