Thank you guys.
The pickup is in the same location as the Thunderbird II. Thank you Scott for measuring it ;-)

I made a quick video, so you get an idea how it sounds:

Sounds great with a pick.

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I just noticed that the schaller  lightweight tuners are the same type as the ones i put on my eb4l.Like them a lot.Helped heaps,the originals weighed a ton.
Louder bass!.

All it needs is a Kahler or a bigsby

I did not realize it was trans black. They are both such nice basses.

An 8 string Hammer like one would be cool.

That's perfect! It even goes to eleven. I'd leave the guard off since I find it more beatiful without. Too bad really because I also like the 'tip of the hat'-logo.

Thank you guys.
There have been several guys who prefer it without pickguard.
I think the pickguard belongs on this bass; the EB-0 has one and the Thunderbird has one.
But I do agree the wood underneath the pickguard is almost too pretty to hide behind a slab of plastic  ;)
