The biggest issue is likely to be where you put the battery - will be worth checking whether you will need any routing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) IIRC Guy Pratt's burgundy Jazz ("betsy"?) has EMGs in it. ps. found a mention of it- [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/guy-pratt/Jun-06/20608"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/guy-pratt/Jun-06/20608[/url] Edited May 5, 2009 by SJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
