Do not know whether this will work. Anyway, I am trying to include a picture that I took yesterday of my Gibsonrelated basses. If it works, I guess you all know these to the right and left, are Epiphone Embassies. They have a bit different sounds, and the colour also differs.
The black one is a smashed up Ripper I got a couple of years ago. Someone had taken the pickups from her, so, fast as lightning, I fixed her up with a Gibson T-bird pickup. I changed the pickguard, everything inside it, and the knobs. Voila! Here's the result. I have to agree with Uwe, concerning the black pickups. They sure's got att brutal sound, if you want that.
The red one is my pet. She began life as a Korean bass, with the brand name Lotus. I like the looks of the first version of the EB0 a lot, I've always wanted one, and thought this one reminded me a bit of them. But short scale is not for me. So I got hold of this mahagony bass, neck through body, and went to my luthier, Leif. As I had a '65 T-bird (or is it Embassy?) pickup laying around, I of course went for that one. Leif fixed it all. Changed tuners, bridge, pickup and knobs (from a P-bass. Those knobs looks just magnificient!). The neck is a bit fat, but after a few hours it suits just fine.
So here they are, if everything worked as it should. If not... Well, I'll talk to my kids.
