Brooks EB-MM-Q

[Basvarken]

Just finished the build of a new bass.
It is a hybrid of a Gibson EB-0 (Les Paul Junior Double Cut) and a MusicMan Stingray.
The shape of the body and headstock are the Gibson ingredient. The scale (34"), the pickup and the bridge are the MusicMan ingredient.

Hence the name
Brooks EB-MM-Q

I'm not generally a LP bass kind of guy, but that's sweet.

[Grog]

Great build as always!!

[patman]

I would think that would sound really good!

[Dave W]

Love it!

All it needs are banjo tuners!

Finally found the time to make a short video demo of the Brooks EB-MM-Q

[Ken]

Sounds and looks beautiful, Rob.

[Dave W]

Sounds as good as it looks.

You don't mention a preamp, is this just the tone of the passive Lace? I hadn't heard their MM version. I approve.

[Basvarken]

Thank you.
Yep, it's a passive bass.

Those knobs should go to eleven.

[Basvarken]

Those knobs should go to eleven.

Haha, yeah! 
I actually tried to find them for silver reflector cap knobs. But couldn't seem to find any.


I have them for amber bell knobs




And black speed knobs
