    @BlueTalon Yes, at my request Adrian had the flight case custom made for my bass. I think from memory the case was quoted at $350 euros. I asked Adrian to outsource the case at time of ordering. On the receipt from Adrian it just quoted one figure for everything (bass, case & delivery) the...

    Where do you pluck?

    I am always directly over the neck pickup. I use the neck pickup as my "thumb rest". It just feels more comfortable and natural to me. My 2 pickups are wired in series. I only ever play directly over the neck pickup.

    I am feeling a little bit frustrated at the moment. It cost me 300 euros to have my bass shipped from Germany to Australia. 300 euros is approximately $500 Australian dollars. Then I just received this text that it is going to cost me another $308 Australian dollars in duty and taxes before...

    Dual P Pickup Club!

    The 2 pickups are wired in series. The 2 knobs are a volume and a tone. I will almost exclusively play directly over the neck pickup as that is just my style. I really think these 2 pickups wired in series will give me the tone I am after.

    'Has Shipping Cost Gotten That Outrageous'

    @RichSnyder The bass that I have purchased is a neck thru neck, So removing the neck is not possible. Plus I have had made a custom hardcase to fit the bass. So the shipping would have to include the hardcase with the bass inside of it.

    @scott sinner I do love the 7 stripes on the back of the neck. The contrast of the Wenge and Padouk. But, on the front of the neck I do like how the Maruszczyk black nylon strings seem to hide and disappear in the White Ebony fretboard wood. Almost like a optical illusion. The strings just...

    Adrian also has a guy that can make custom hardcases just for Adrian. You just need to email Adrian and ask about custom hardcases and I am sure Adrian will share the information. I think that the custom hardcases are about 500 euros

    As far as not having a swith, Personally on my bass I just want it as simple as possible. I think that that pickup combination will be awesome. As far as having 2 different looking pickups, that will not bother me. As long as it sounds good I will be happy. @LowEndLobster did a review...
