Never seen one, but I think the placing of the pickup is a good thing. When I was about 15 years old I had a custom EBO with the body reshaped and the pickup moved back to about the same place where this one is. In my opinion, that is the best thing you could do to an EBO. It took a lot of the bottom end mud out of the sound and provided a bit more treble bite and turned the mud into more of a growl. I had a great Jack Bruce kind of sound with that old bass. I also had a similarly equipped Epiphone that was completely stock, with the same pickup way up toward the neck, so I had a good source for a side to side comparison. In my opinion, moving the pickup back toward the bridge was a huge improvement.
