BOOWHaHAHHAHAH!!!!! That's awesome!

Yeah, it sounds great and this is a MIM, so it might be original. The posts look different, and a little more shiny on the neck pickup. The plastic casing has a slightly different sheen to it as well. So, I suppose it could be original or aftermarket. Either way, it sounds good, and I know what...

Agreed. I just was curious, and I like to tinker.

I didn't. It was an after market, and I had to do some grinding on it. The PG was from Guitar Fetish, so I called them and asked if having to grind on it was normal. They said, "yes, our pick guards are not always a perfect fit on all Jazz basses, it's common to have to file the pickup openings...

Nope $250 from a guy on Facebook. I swapped his "custom" pick guard back to something more original and fixed the busted cap on the tone knob. So, pretty cheap. I'm not worried about it, it was just a curiosity.

Yeah, it sounds great. No complaints. Just noticed it and wondered why it was the way it was. I like to tinker, so I'll probably pick up a new matched set and swap 'em. If I don't like that sound, I'll swap 'em back. :)

You are correct sir. The pickups are exactly the same size. Upon further investigation, the neck pickup looks newer. Seems the previous owner may have swapped it out at some point...for some reason....with a bridge pickup. HMMMMMMMmmmm thanks!

I picked up this bass on Facebook a year or so ago and did a little work on the electronics and did a setup. Plays great, more/less my go-to bass for any situation. I generally play in church, and I'm sitting there looking at my bass between songs and I notice that the E string doesn't line up...

Good question. I'm not sure. If you were recording vocals or a mic'ed cabinet, that might not work so well though.

Cool, I couldn't find anything like this online either. So, I made one. I have a PCB coming for it and some connectors and whatnot so it all looks nice and clean. If you're still interested at that point, maybe I'll send you one. :)

Naa.. if you look north about 2 posts, you'll see that these already exist in a much nicer form.

Yeah, I was looking for something like that too and never found it. That's awesome. That's pretty much what I made. The only benefit to mine is it can deliver 4x the power, but for most applications, who cares? Nice! good find.

Sweet. This is what I did to build that pedal: The brain inside is the Arduino Pro Micro: https://goo.gl/ijTbGT Any momentary push button switch will work. I found some specific to foot switches on guitarparts.com or something. Code looks like this. #include <Keyboard.h> void setup() {...

totally. The Pi is way overkill for most of what I do. The punch in/out pedal uses an Arduino Micro which is WAAAAAAAY cheaper and simpler (depending on how you look at that) than the Pi. I'm just running code that emulates a keyboard. My one button simply outputs a "*" when it's pressed. "*"...

I'm willing to be the majority supplier of that dumb stuff.
