Who wrote the storyline for this video? The same person responsible for AC/DC's fly on the wall videos?

I may have to start selling my body (or organs) to pay for it
Amptech: Only the ('orrible) Gibson 80ies Explorers were medium scale, the fine reissue from a few years ago was long scale (maple with maho body) as are the Epi Explorer basses (some kind of mock "mahoganykorina" wood for both neck and body, it is very dent prone and almost white, but sounds lovely blurry and is comparatively light). And both much better (than the medium scale Exies) for it, too.
Ha, Dave, this invalidates your claim that all SB350ies sound dead!
Rare that someone in a pro-band plays an SB 350, even rarer in a current concert!
If you're ever cramped for space, I'll volunteer to foster the SPCB. I would promise to mentor it and teach it proper behavior.
The mud comes from the extreme overwinding. There's nothing muddy about the sidewinder design.
I'm finding the 3ook pots harder to find these days. Might just go ahead and use 250s if necessary. Not that big a difference in my application.
FWIW, most humbucker-equipped Gibsons have used 300K linear volume pots since about 1973 (tone pots are still 500K audio taper). Some aftermarket electronics sites say otherwise, but they're mistaken.

Amsterdam has some nice shops, some you have to know where they are..
