the barest few lines into the posting and we're halfway to "Venus In Furs..."
Thanks for the info George and Uwe, and also the alts Tony, and not forgetting Mark's ever-present glamour...
First things first... I've been running the pup passively for a long time, and the sound it produces is just... perfect... for me... I'll be sticking with "both" fitted by the bridge (rear?) position, one in the RD, one in the PC... the full bore mudbucker, combined with the passively run RD Artist pup really works well...
The reason for the "peel" is esthetic rather than functional, to go with the myrtle refin and to provide a neat ring for the pup... I have a further problem but I'll raise that in the refin thread once I acquire the cover... you see, I don't think chrome will work with the colour of the fin and my remaining gold hardware...
John...
a Kahler on an RD... exotically out there man,
way out there...
... and I just went fretless, threw out the electonics, cut a chunk off the wing, burnt the serial number into the back... She's next on the refin schedule...
