That is beer, by the way, of course

To everyone now, I really like all your Explorers ! They're truly awesome guitars. And I'm proud to be part of the gang.

Mine's an Exploiter, Technically!`

Technically, mine's an Exploiter - Alembic can't use the Explorer name for copyright reasons I suppose. But it's all good! Great to be an Exploiter/Explorer owner!

I'll have to update with pics of mine - it's a nice Korina body...it has an interesting stamp on it however I'll highlite once I upload pics... ALso any recommendations on pickup replacements? What I think I want to hear is more low-mid growl and high-end zing...not so much mudd.

This is the bass on which I managed to dis-locate my thumb mid-song - and my thumb is double jointed to begin-with! I just whacked it back into position on the body of the bass!

Regards,

I have one (epi explorer) but no pics because no camera.
It's also a really uninteresting flat sounding bass. give me a Fender and a good amp and it's make a mockery of it any day.

That may be the most awesome Explorer I've seen.
Anyway, mine is a Black/White pickguard, Gibson/Epiphone headstock, gold bridge, knobs, tuners. Plays great with a pick, and feels very natural. Trying to obtain a vintage Gibson-not easy to find.....

Here's one I'm building. It's a replica of John Entwistle's ExplorerBird.

I just picked up one of the final warmoth X-Bird bodies (they have one left in the showcase).

was routed for MM pickup in the sweet spot and drilled for string through/Badass III.
i'm thinking of going with the SD SMB-4d with the STC-3M4 preamp with 18v.

Ill be using a neck from a squire VM Jazz

the body is unpainted so i'm thinking a white to blueburst (almost reverse caribeanburst) and trying to lay some faux carbon fiber sheets somewhere in there under a top/clear coat.
