Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / Re: Artec Pickups on Ebay?

Very true, whatever sound you like is fine. I gotta ask- what Tbird sound are we talking? Original, Bicentennial, Reissue? The first Thunderbirds had a Honduras Mahogany body and neck, even Entwistle's Fenderbirds were mahogany, though w/ a maple neck. What is a Bach made of?
I think you can get the "Artec" sound with EMGs plus some extra tones. They do cost a lot more than 5 times the Artec which can be bought in China from Eden's warehouse for less than $10. Why does a bass that costs this much come with electronics (at least pots and jack) that a lot of people say need upgrading?
I'm a Newbie but I'm not a kid, I understand value and also the Chinese (8 years designing furniture in South China), I'll be looking forward to the comparisons of the two Artecs.
