Two more pots, a choke, a rotary switch, a capacitor, a small humbucker, green paint, spandex... and your there... :mrgreen:

The "frog" was a EB0 that Dennis put a P bass pickup in along with the mudbucker. I would love to do a frog tribute but these days I hate hacking up vintage stuff...................even something as common as a EB0.

Kenny, in a daze, picks himself up from the floor, in a state of shock...  ;D

Should I mention that the '70(?) EB-0 slothead I got around '98 cost me $12?  I traded someone I worked with a bunch of power tools.  I think Mark F still has it.

I remember in the late 1980's I got a '67 EB-3 for $140 (Model 1 Dimarzio at the neck position) and a 1975 Ripper for $160.  These were at the same pawn shop.  Wish those days would come back....
