Dood Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1507737555' post='3387618'] Dood! What are you doing? A refin and then you put it down on the gravelly ground?! Looks bloomin' ace though.

Dood Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 It seems to be a topic that some get their knickers in a twist about, but I see it as another tool, like a plectrum or a drum stick. Mine as you'll see I designed to be adjustable, so if I don't want to use it I can neatly screw it down in to the body. It does also mean I can change it's angle depending on my instrument set up too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I really like a ramp. Fortunately most of my basses that aren't ramped have wide and flat pickups in just the right place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Armstrong can make them too for his pickups. I've also spotted that Ned Steinberger had EMG make radiused pickups for his own basses too! They are out there and I think it's a great idea.
