yes chromium, I play both ways, lefty inverted and normal :) -- but I do play inverted as my main thing like Jim Haslip, or Jeff Schmidt.

the tbird is a great shape for flipping, hence my reason for using those on stage and not the p/j's ---

thanks for the nice comment on my latest bassguitar. It's from a small belgium hobby-builder. I met on a dutch guitarforum. I really like the vibe of it. It's looks wierds, out of the box, oddball but jet familiar and retro/vintage.

The turquoise one? I think it's a Gretsch clone.

I don't think so.  His pups have his name stamped on them.  At least all of the ones I've seen.

Perhaps an "Alias Smith & Jones", a little known western-made pickup?
