Larry, I am glad you got your mods done and are happy. Post a few pics if you can. Rule here is no pics ain't happening. I would especially like to see my varitone plate on a bass.
I have given up on a Gibby bridge pup and have decided to use a Dimarzio Model G instead. Thinking the DiM would work with a 60's mudbucker and thinking the DiM would work better planted a bit North of the usual bridge position witrh the bucker slammed against the fretboard.
I have also been putting off my double cut build for so long it seems like its never going to get done; and now, I am excited about designing an LP build so back on the shelf the double cut goes for another year or so at least.
Basses are cool, girl friends can be kinda iffy and I have so much psycho bitch crap going on now I'm bugging out for Missouri soon so stay in touch and post some pics dude.
