LG3006 with Nordstrand DC?

I saw a pic of a lg3000 on the perfectbass site that had the Nordstrand DC pickups in it. For me, it changed the whole look of the bass. I am not a big fan of the slant pickup placement. I wounder what an LG3006 would look like with the nordstrands? Any pics?(Gard)

Dual Coils can not be installed in the LG slants because they can't get the pole pieces to line up right. The only way is to have them route the pickup holes straight. Only Fat Stacks and Big Singles will work with the slants. Bass Central has a bass of a LG3006 with normal barts though. Here's the pic:

I saw a picture of an LG with the DC pups on Theperfectbass site. They were not slanted and to me this bass looked more apealling.

This is the LG with the DC Nordies I was talking about. I am wondering how the would look on a LG3006. What do you guys think?

Allen, the answer is yes, we can do that for an LG, as long as it is ordered "from the ground up" with them. As sha pointed out, the DC's won't work unless the rout for the pickup is perpendicular from the strings (his set of Fat Stacks are a different issue! ).

There's an LG-3005 on The Low End website. It's a fretless with perpendicular-mounted Nordstrand pickups.

I love how the straight pickups look on LG's!
