Hi Mornats,
Although the pickups on the Zygote have their coils wired in series as standard, they are 4-wire output so you can add series/parallel switching to either or both pickups for a huge range of tones. This is a mod I do to all my personal basses...of which there are way too many!

Oooh now that sounds like a whole lot of fun! Out of curiosity, do you make any basses to order? Perhaps with that mod and a custom see-through colour? No worries if not, I'm just considering my "next bass" options (I'm a basschatter after all...) :)

[/quote]Custom colours are expensive for one-offs but I can certainly add series/parallel switching either by push/pull pot or mini toggle switch. Personally, I prefer the toggle switch. Either would be an additional £25 per pickup or I can supply a wiring diagram and you can do it yourself for free!

Arrived yesterday, Dave was excellent with his comms and kept me informed all the way.

The bass is stunning in the flesh and after a quick setup to my liking it plays really well, lots of tones and heavy bottom end. I had to rack the amp volume back 3 notches to achieve the same volume that my P bass does.
the controls work very well and can make a huge tonal difference unlike some I've owned. Overall I'm very happy with it to the point where I'll order another when he answers my email. :D

Just to whet your appetite here's a fella on a Zygote.

Those zygote ones with the two MM style pickups look pretty cool. Tempting. If only the fingerboard were maple...

Nice video. Shame there's a bit of distortion on the lower frequencies but I love how he goes through the different playing styles in all the pickup combos. It's not doing my GAS any good, especially as I saw a bass playing a Rockinbetter last night that sounded awesome and got me thinking of the Vantage...
