I Just scored the project EB0 off ebay I've been waiting to find. I want to add a second pickup to it and use it as my daily player. I am looking to add that classic “thump” of a 62 p bass as one (of several) of my tone options, but not necessarily the total sound of a p base. My initial thought was to calculate the precise location required and add a classic 62 p base pickup. BUT in 4 months of searching every forum I could discover, I could not find one, not one post where someone did this. There must be some inherent flaw in the idea, the structure of the EBO, the wood, the scale, impedance mismatch, something.
I don't have much experience with different pick ups and combinations so it would be stupid for me to buy based on descriptions. I would love to get some informed options. I wouldn't mind buying and testing several pickups as long as they started in the vicinity of the goal. But the rout location (bridge or p base location) is irreversible. So I would truly like to tap some of hands-on expertise before bringing out the router
