Nice work, is that PRS wiring on the pickups?
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Thank you.
I have no idea what PRS wiring is. But the wiring was done by my good friend BQ Music.
I asked him for these switching combinations and he came up with the wiring diagram and soldered it for me.

I liked this.  I used to own Gibson and Epi T-Birds.  This body style and its colour appeals to me.  I'm a lifelong fan of that headstock style.  I was surprised to see it was a 5 way switching scheme. The sound samples presented them well.  I expected major treble-ish twang from the bridge but didn't get that (good) and as someone said, no mud.  Finally, thank you for not demonstrating this bass by doing slap & pop throughout.
