I took my finished non-traditional TB to practice last week and it sounded phenomenal. I really enjoyed playing it. While the black soapbar stock pups on new TBs are fine, I have to say there is something very special (besides the cost) about the Seymour Duncan custom wound 60's era pups. They have a stronger output and while they have a wonderfully deep bottom end, they are clear and articulate in the mid and high range. I love the way they sound in this bass and my 60's rehab bass. They seem to really mate up nicely with a tube pre-amp rig like my Mesa. They just are a perfect match for one another. This bass will definitely see some gigs down the road.
