That looks like a fun project ! Looks like you could put two mudbuckers in there !

Do I need to have hair, mustache and a suit like that to play a Ripper with two mudbuckers in it?
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?

Yes, and a time machine to take you to the mid 70s.

I hear Rob is working on a G5. Sort of like the Gillette Fusion, the more blades (or blade pickups) the better.  ;D

Absolutely!  You'll be faaaaaaaabulous!

I have a theory that 1000 years from now, the only trace of our civilization surviving in trash dumps will be polyester leisure suits.  They're indestructible by anything short of a nuclear strike.

Maybe two G3 pups and a mudbucker on the neck? Something like a Gibson version of the Tractor.

Yes!! That would be so cool!

I think a pair of Darkstars would turn that into a serious ass-kicker!

Looking forward to seeing the finished project!

Interesting one Mr D...

Not so up on these... hasn't Uwe got a Blue one... vaguely remember a car related thread... ("Ripper Blue")

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

He does have a blue Ripper (or is it a Grabber?) but it might be a factory paint job or a pro refin.

"GRABBER BLUE" was the one... he thought it may have been a special for a (NAMM) show...

The mudbuckers would probably fit in without routing. The mudbuckers are quite narrow under the cover.

I'm not going to say how much routing I had to do on my T'bird to fit mine...  :o

LOL! I just googled Sludgebuckers again, and you and chromium are still the only two people on the planet who use that term.

Being a trendsetter is hard work!   :mrgreen:

it's true, mudbuckers will fit but the factory route isn't quite deep enough for them.
