Way down loooow... zeee's
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
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...

Beautiful! My Lo Z EB0 project is on it's way, I think I'll leave it one pickup though I have two guitar les paul pickups.
Before I do the routing and finish I'll mount an over-string slide unit to find a sweet spot.

If you have a blueprint for the ring I'm interested.. Or maybe you have a ring for sale?  :)

Thanx.

I don't have a ring for sale.
But I can trace one for you. Do you need a guitar size or bass size ring?

My turn:



Most of the basses I took to the Moffat Bass Bash this year: L-R - Gibson SG-Z, Yamaha BB450, G&L Tribute M-2000, Gibson RD Artist, G&L El Toro



Most of the collection as it is right now in their wee home which I made out of an old water tank cupboard (redundant after installing combi boiler): L-R - G&L Tribute L-2000, Gibson Victory Artist, Gibson RD Artist, Gibson IV, Epiphone Jack Casady, G&L EL Toro, G&L Tribute M-2000, Yamaha BB450, Fender Cabronita Precision.  Missing from photo: Gibson Ripper (restoration WIP) and Yamaha BB350F which stays in my office and gets played at lunchtimes.
Basses: Epi JC Sig 20th Anniversary - Epi Les Paul Standard - Epi Korina Explorer - G&L CLF L-1000 - G&L Tribute LB-100 - Sire D5 - Reverend Triad - Harley Benton HB-50

Great! It's a guitar pickup.

These two photo are the only current group shots I have. Both basses were made in the same factory.

You talkin' to me?  While the pickups weren't particularly powerful I didn't find it as insipid sounding as some had described it, and certainly had it going on in the looks department.  Daft output jack location/angle.  Ultimately for all its tonal options it didn't sound as good to me as my IV and as I have a few passive two pickup basses it went to fund other acquisitions.

neepheid - may I ask - what color is your Victory? It looks gold to me, which I don't think I have ever seen.
