I posted this thread on TalkBass, so i am going to copy and paste it here...
Well guys, as some of you remember, I had Curtis Novak build me a custom double Jazz bass humbucker with a half size coil and a full size coil with a tap halfway down back in December of 2008.
Anyways, I had Curtis build me a Precision bass pickup last week, and it arrived today!
I am totally wowed by the aesthetics of the pickup.
It's kind of funny to see a 5-day-old date written on a pickup that looks like it should be 40 or 50 years old. :blob7:
I dropped off my bass with my luthier today for some extensive routing work, and when he is done, i get to re-do my shielding and wire up the bass with the new Precision bass pickup.
Here is a mockup of what the bass will look like, excluding the output jack and the Telecaster style 3 way switch:
(FWIW, the pickup on the mockup is a cheapie pickup i had lying around when i took the picture a few days ago)
I have no idea what it's going to sound like yet, but i am anxious to find out once i get everything routed and wired up!
I'm sure it's going to sound great though.
Any thoughts?
