Anybody tried one? I like the look ... (yes I know, everybody hates the black-plastic-MM-shape-P-pickup)

Don't worry, Al, it will soon pass. We all know how cheap you profess to be. ;D

That was mentioned in the Dub King thread. Good looking bass! Needs Thunderbuckers or something. 8)

Alas, I am a teller of truth. Cheapness r'me.

Nice colour; nice neck (I love blocks); not feeling the rest of it. The Dub King is a bit appealing, but this is not speaking to me at all. IMHO having the raised middle TBird thing just seems asinine if it's not actually a neck thru.
The lean towards G detailing on this vs F on their bolt on series (all the same shape) is better, obviously. :vader:
-
I don't hate the look of the pickup. Not at all. Whatever this one sounds like, I'd rather see a rectangular P-style pickup housing than yet another split coil. :bored:
Not every soap bar is MM shape. And even the ones that look like a MM aren't necessarily anything like it tonally.
-
I've seen some pictures with reverse headstock and some without. I wonder if they do it both ways, or if they switched at some point.
I really like the EB-ish contour on the upper edge. Wish more designs did that, actually.

I have no MM hate, excepting all the low end import ones that were all the rage in the early 2000's that sound like crap, though I'd still prefer a big chrome boom 'bucker.
-
Me neither, I kind of want to get a Stingray some day ... all bass acquisitions are on hold however until / unless I ever figure out what the hell my custom job is going to be.
-
Stingray is the punchiest bass I know of...I would love to have a fiver.
-
I'm suprised no one has mentioned the Meshell Ndegeocello signature model.

There's a primary Reverend subject one or two down that caused this one to be raised where Jake mentioned this beastie...

I love that Gibsonesque color theme. Transparent cherry with b/w/b pickguard, bound fretboard with block inlays and black headstock overlay. Kinda like a Lakland Decade.

If one collects for fins, yeah.

Yup, I'm with you there brother !
Did sell my Decade with the rest of the long scales but I really liked it. Still have a SG Standard...... and 2 SG Supremes but I don't collect fins ;D

I like the look - especially of the mock split-coil! Très hot!!!

So do I. The look of a regular Fender split coil leaves a lot to be desired (IMHO) no matter how good the sound.
This looks much better to me, although it seems like we're in the minority here.

It kind of reminds me of the EB4L pickup actually.

Or the wide range humbucker of the second edition Fender Tele Bass.

I'd like to see it with alternating blade polepieces in the "unused space" like they use on the guitar pickups. Bet it would have have a killer tone, too.
