Any opinions on pickups for a fretless 6 stringparallel chamber with TI Jazz flats? I'm thinking P-MM, but haven't really gotten too far. I have a top and fingerboard selected, but I'll keep things a surprise. This'll most likely be after the fanned 7. |

I was thinking of going with a Dual Coil in the bridge position and a piezo bridge. |

The piezo gives the sound of a neck pickup, but a slightly different dynamic. Would you be going with an Audere pre?
I think piezo and perhaps a Bass Mute would be a good idea in my case. |

Those Ziricote tops in the "News" don't look too bad either!

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Seattle, WA | | | Does anybody here have a CB with a Pink Ivory fretboard, pickup covers, etc.? I'm wondering how the coloring holds up over time, and what it looks like after it oxidizes a bit. |
