BTW, I thought that was real mean of Tom Bowlus to post the pics of that LeCompte he had built right under yours. I like Bud and think he does great work, but I'd rather have yours any day

Thanks for the compliment. That LeCompte is nice, but it's just too posh for me  .
Doesn't look like the sort of thing you could throw around & shove through a fuzz box! 
There actually isn't a second pickup hole. I think what you're seeing is the bridge's black rubber damper strip (palm mute). http://www.flickr.com/photos/9336149...7602884385041/
I've since taken unit off, but I may put it back on in the future - nice with pick playing.
Cheers
Nick

No offence intended - English humour! |

I don't offend easily, and in fact, I found your post to be humorous and in good spirits. 
And I, too, think that Nick's hollowbody rocks! 
Tom. |

I'm in Bristol, though we're both Mancunians, where humour can be even more 'acerbic'. Moved down to the richer South years ago during the first 'recession'. In the UK, I think the more North one goes, the greater the amount of piss-taking occurs - even psychs me out sometimes!
Guess you get the same demographic differences in the States. Noticed it myself, back in '97, whilst spending a year in Laurel Canyon.
Nice piece of furniture you got there mate!
