The bass is now one year old!  :blob7:

I got the bass back from my luthier after he sanded the neck pocket, put the neck onto the body and did a setup on 3/17/09.

When Beavis said that, Butthead said, "That's because your mom's a slut."  Looks cool though.

Ok guys, what do you think of these?
I can't get good pictures right now, there isn't enough sunlight, and my camera flash is making everything funky, but whatever. :blob7:

That's pretty cool.  Do the covers change the tone at all, or are they completely new pups?

These are new pickups.

They were given to me by James Reed of Reed James Eng. in exchange for helping him out with some business matters. Unfortunately, him and I are not on good terms right now, and I may or may not sell these.

I believe the covers are glued in place or something, but they are removable if the coils need to be rewound.
The walls of the covers are thicker than standard plastic covers, for obvious reasons.
