bassmayhem Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) I left my six string Unicorn Artist to Christian Olsson, Unicorn himself, this summer for a total electronic makeover. I bought the bass second hand, loved it, but disliked the electronics the previous owner had demanded. New higher output split coil "reverse P" pickups as well as serial/parallel switching on each pickup. Also, a 5 way rotary switch with different capacitors. As icing on the cake, the bass also got balanced output. All passive circuit. I also brought my "Mean Green Machine" , my Purist 5, to get the same electronics and switching done. Christian is truly the Master of arts... I also commissioned a new fretless 5 string Artist; it'll be ready in February 2026. Christian with his own personal bass, yours truly with The White One... Master at work... Here is the White One after upgrade... ...and a close-up where you see the grain of the quilted maple top under the thin layer of white. Pickups are capped with ebony, and knobs are solid ebony too. The fingerboard is really brutal; heavily quilted and roasted maple... Close-up of the pickups...
