Another Brooks Thinline Telebird is ready to rock!
Made some pics this morning.
Now she's ready to be packed in and shipped to the US of A.

Does parallel wiring not sound good with those pickups? Congrats on another successful build.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

That is one incredibly clean, attractive bass!!

The differences in output are too big with parallel wiring. So we (BQ Music and myself) decided to use serial wiring.
