3rd pickup in the mute compartment

[ilan]

There's one for sale on eBay.

I'm toying with the idea of putting one in my white '73. Couldn't hurt and I don't use the mute anyway.

Anyone here has any experience with them? Must be ultra-treble.

No idea. That close to the bridge, though, there's so little string excursion that it can't get much fundamental, no matter how it's wound.

Cliff Burton supposed to have done this mod in his rick, I think he had used a strat pickup.

If your going to experiment try a halfway decent piezo to pickup all those vibrations...

I would dig messing with a piezo in the saddles.  It would probably be more effective with a fretless.

The bridge pickup in my 4005 (which is somewhat near to the position this will fit in) is not usable on itself i.m.h.o.. It does ad a nice touch if you mix it with the neck pickup. Especially with the cap in. (The neck pickup of a 4005 sounds very similar to a 4001/4003 neck pickup.)
