LG3K #2

I am diggin my LG3K so much that I called Gard to arrange another that is more "rock and roll" in appearance... Lucky for me they had a body and neck available. It'll be tobacco burst, Bart 3 band and a set of Bart CD pups that Gard assures me I will really like. The body is mildly quilted maple over Spanish Cedar, the FB is old growth Brazilian rosewood with sapwood! Santa said "if you're good it'll leave NC before Christmas!"

Cool Toby!

You're on a roll!

Let's see... it's a little over 2 weeks until Christmas...

Well gee whiz! I guess that means that it'll be completed in about 2 more weeks!!!

Maybe the merry Roscoe elves will work some Christmas magic so this little orphan of a bass will have a home on Christmas day

I remember seeing this one at the shop, the spalted fretboard just blends beautifully with the finish! Very nice bass!

I really like the spalted fretboards as you can see in my avatar.

She an easy player, I've got the action very low with little to no fret buzz.

Tone, not as clear and effortless as the Nordy Big Singles, nice growl, good punch - I think with a single coil tap the Bart pups will be fine.

Great, but.......

I don't believe you can do a coil tap for the Barts....can ya?

Maybe I didn't understand your post.

To tap the coil you would have to breakout the soldering iron. On the back of the Bart pickups they have different post and if I am not mistaken there is a piece of buss wire between two post you would have to remove and wire to a switch.
