You made a great choice! Congrat, it looks wondeful! The sound demo link seems broken?

Two distillers is all you need, if you go thst route! Underhill preamps makes an excellent product too, and have incredibly modular preamps. If you want a complex onboard, they're where I'd go. I only use volume, pickup voicing selector, and Buffy McBooster, and I find that does everything I...

The JTEX parts are amazing. I'd highly recommend. If you want versatility, the distiller with the unity buffer is an excellent combo. This gives you more versatility than any static frequency onboard preamp without colouring your pickups. Another option is to get something like Broughton...

They look like two coils wired in series with a coil tap at around 65% wraps. Mine happen to be dead silent but I can't easily confirm internals. I wonder if something is wrong with the preamp or improperly grounded.

Not sure if you tried wiring series/parallel, but that isn't what that unused wire is; it's a coil tap! It drops the output, a bit but you don't get anything too different with the tone

Beautiful! The stock pickups are great! I just want a bit more variance between front and back. If I don't like the ceramic bridge I bought, I'll throw the stock pickup in the bridge and boost it up to match the new neck! I want the neck to be a bit more vintage and to get a more P bass tone

It's standard bass weight. Around a P bass, less than a jazz. Dingwalls are about the same, and it weighs about the same as my schecter 35. My GOC is the northern ash. The swamp ash should be 7.8-8.3lbs, which is about a lb lighter It's absolutely the most affordable!

Love the colour, god damn! Nothing crazy on my bass; pickups run to a selector switch, which does Series/neck/parallel/bridge position, which runs to a JTEX Buffy McBooster set to 140k impedience, 6db of bass or 9 db of treble, to a 25k volume pot. I ordered the cheapest alnico 5 and ceramic...

I think these turned out better than I expected! Not sure if I should get plugs I can paint for the extra 2 holes or leave in the silicone plugs... And I'm considering painting the locking headpiece. Opinions on either?!

The pickup cavity is abnormally thin. I put a Buffy McBooster in from JTex, a rotary pickup selector, and only have onboard volume now. My issue is the pickups aren't different enough. Mine came with phasing issues though, so I don't know if it's because I got two neck/two bridges or if all of...

If my scale can be believed, 9.1 lbs. The body is not nearly as contoured as the EHB's, and I'm faily certain it's larger. Been a while since I played the EHB

Honestly, I kind of liked the sound of the coils out of.phase. i cranked the bass and it worked well. But I swapped the wires, dropped the neck pickup to about 8mm away from the strings, bridge around 4mm, and it gave it more bottom end with similar high end!

The strings it comes with are excellent. D'addario has multi scale sets. Dingwall too

The Big Rig is based off the old '51 P bass pickup, not the split coil we're used to, and the Big Split was sold to my as an aggressive J/P hybrid. I wouldn't agree with this description, but it's the basis for my decision. That being said, the pickups are so close together that the placement...

This is my Labyrinth Guitarworks custom. Multiscale 34" to 31". The neck pickup is a BigSplit, bridge is a BigRig. I have Kalium strings ordered to be 37 lbs across the strings. It has a series/parallel switch, glockenklang preamp, and passive tone. That BigRig is magical. I didn't know what...
