Stag Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 why do people dig great big holes in basses to stick new p/ups in them? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310015823426&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:B:WNA:GB:1123[/url] I watched it for a while, awnted to bid.... and to be fair it went for what I think is a very decent price, but with the neck bowing etc I think it might have been "A Project Too Far" for me....

I think the bridge pickup upset me more than the potential truss rod rescue required. Didn't go for it in the end. There'll be others.

Stag Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 yeah - the big ugly gash (ooer!) in the body to stick that in put me off as well. Shame as it was a nice bass and a proper luthier could have sorted the neck out with a bit of luck. Im more in the market for an EB-0 tbh... maybe... I may be getting some cash soon and a Gibbo Jack Bruce sound is about the only other thing ive lusted after since my teens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
