    interesting pickup placement, looks cool though… “these pickups sound like fabulousness and unbridled power wrapped in a tasty burrito” Ha! I like the sense of humor.

    • Thanks for the nice comments Trey. The pickup placement does look a little different but in reality they are actually very similar to J-bass pickup placement. It’s deceptive because they are the same size as guitar humbuckers. I promise they freakin’ rock though! This bass is sold. I’m finishing up a white one to list on Reverb soon.

  2. That blue bass w/ tiger stripes is so beautiful.If it plays and sounds half as good as it looks I’d pick over most exotic wood finish basses.
