 :o  Very cool!

You know you have to buy this bass now, right?  :)

I'm curious about the wiring too.  I mean really, aside from rock'n'roll excess, why four pickups?  Maybe they're RW/RP or something - to act as a pair of humbuckers in certain varitone settings?

If he's close by, and you go over to audtion it - bring a screwdriver, compass, and a camera!   ;D   Curious minds want to know...

Gibson should now create the G5 with an added piezo pickup in the bridge  :D

Crap!!
Just when I reinvent the G3 with a six way switch, Gibson gets in their time machine goes back and invents one with four pickups and a four way switch! Well, mine has a set neck......................................

GREAT!

I already mailed Rob: Almost too good to be true: A prototype with 'prototype' on it, while all the other real prototypes are discussed for home made or not;)

But you had me Rob!!!!!!!

Poor Uwe... I guess he hasn't slept last night... I don't think this is good for the relationship between Germany and Holland;)

Rob, you  brilliant bastard!

Love it, great one!

Unfortunately, I can't call the bombers back anymore, they've shut their radios off ...  ;)

Uwe 

PS: Now we're stung. Who will build the first G-4 with a varitone?

PPS: Of course, all Dutch board members knew of this scheme beforehand - they always conspire. As I'm typing, the arrest warrants are going out ...
