The bridge on that 60's bass is not the newer 3 point found on epi's and newer gibbys. By all means put in a ric bridge pup. Just triple check your measurement before you drop the money on the pup. Just trying to help on a posable headache. And laz, that pic gives me serious GAS.

Also thought about putting in a grabber or ripper pup. But. The potential routing the grabber might need is daunting. The ripper is smaller. I keep coming back to chrome t bird or mudbucker. That ric bridge is tempting as well.

Yeah me too lol. Always loved the SG shape.

Woo, band tryout for some guys who actually have shows... wish me luck :P. Just talked to the guitarist/singer for a while, pretty cool guy. Since it's only a 3 piece I guess that means I'm halfway there...

Ironically I played an awesome Gibson SG guitar this weekend at Atomic, one of those if I played guitar I could trade half my guitars in for it

I always loved the SG shape. I owned a ltd viper bass when they first came out. I would buy it back in a heartbeat if I could find it. It had G&L mfd humbuckers in it

Yeah Gibson bass bodies are sexy. Them and rics. God I'd love to have a vintage ric.

I want (nay, need) my stable to have a Ric (done!), mudbucker bass (nearly done!) and a hollowbody - I feel like that covers any tone I may need.

That body just oozes doom thanks to Mr Iommi.

One of my favorite memories is hearing Sabbath for the first time.

Me too. I really like how the SG shape looks. When I was about a year/year and a half into playing bass I saw Poison The Well play at a show. Their bass player had a white SG that looks super sweet.
After that show I was determined to buy a 2 pup SG as my 2nd bass. For some reason I was fixated on the idea of having 2 pick ups in my next bass(my first bass being a Precision) for maximum tonez.
I went to a guitar shop and found a vintage Gibson EB(what I thought of as a SG) for $1,800. Being young and not having the internet I had almost no knowledge of gear. So after being crushed at the price I went and bought a black Epi EB-3. That was ten years ago. All this talk of modding makes me want to trick my old bass out.

(I found out years later that the guy from Poison The Well didn`t play a Gibson SG but a LTD Viper)

Nice combo for sure. Making me want to sell my mocking bird to get a semi hollow body.

Eh, if I get another one, it'll be a new one.

Unless I have such obscene amounts of money that I can afford a 60's Rick.

only way to get such an awesome thin neck is a 4001! but if you prefer the fat-necked rics, a 4003 is the way to go. you can also buy truss rods for them in case of any tragic gig mishaps.
