Another new project.... sigh....

I was thinking something along the lines of a Mike Watt inspired build.

Slap another pickup by the bridge!


seriously. 3 humbuckers would be insane, like the 3 hum sg guitars. Please put a hipshot supertone 3 point bridge on it. alpine white is sick. I'm also all about brown basses...


It's funny, because as soon as I put the 2nd pickup on, my mind said "you can fit a 3rd EBO pickup on there ... so maybe I'll do that !


I checked out the Supertone - really cool.... not cheap though, that's for sure. I might have to sell something (maybe the "Poor Mans 57" or something) to fund a 3rd pickup and the Supertone bridge.
 
Sweet! I really like white on these or maybe I could see you doing this darker (cherry?) wood finish - and relic it or maybe leave it out in the sun so the wood looks very dry and old...but something more transparent (depending on the grain of course) - almost like a real thin stain/whitewash coat.

Maybe this is way out there, but anyone ever consider a bass/guitar doubleneck using an SG body?
Like Mike Rutherford did with a Rick 620 and a 4001.

It'd be a worthy use of a $50 bass and a $40 guitar I think (if only I could find deals like that).
