B2 Questions

Sign in to disble this ad
1. What is the neck nut width? Is it an A/B/C if you're equating it to a real P?

2. Are they active or passive P pickups?

Thanks for the questions...

1-1/2 at the nut. Actually it just starts to widen there, so 1-9/16 is most accurate.

Pickups are passive, and my oh my what a signal. I've been playing #5 this morning through a GK 700RB into a GK112, everything set flat, and wow. Then I started boosting the low mids a little--5%--and I liked that too. Then I realized, hey, if I were the boss, I'd fire me, and I am, so I thought I'd better get back to work.

But I am available for questions.

Kindly,

Lee

I should clarify that this experience was with #5 of the Brio, the descendants of the B2 series.
