They must be getting notions from Serek with the pickup placement. Some speed knobs would look nicer I think.

Yes they would.

It could look better without the guard.

Funny, I like that guard.  I think it's a nice accent.

But I don't see the point in stacking pickups like that.

True, but it looks cool and gives the impression that there is some grand sonic concept behind it!

Most certainly not. There’s a big gaping hole underneath that fantasy pickguard.
All these bass guitars from the mod shop are rejects from the factory line. Not good enough to sell, so they modify them and try to yet fetch a kings ransom…

I love the looks but I'd never buy it with that pickup placement.

Rob is right about the rout under the pickguard.
