That'd be an NG-2, modified for a 3X setup with series/parallel switches by Mo over at Nordstrand, tuned BEAD![]()

Also, what switching did you go for with the 3rd pickup? Did you get the 3x rotary from Dingwall, or did you incorporate any other switching options for the extra pickup.What pickups do you have installed?
Yep. This happened.

Gorgeous! It was a tough choice between yours and the AB1 I grabbed. Congrats on the sale. I'm surprised it took as long as it did.This ABII moved to New York.

I am planning to mod my NG-2 when it comes in with a 3rd pickup and figure I will likely keep the stock 4-pos selector, and put a 3-way toggle in to select what feeds the "neck" pickup on that - the new neck position, the original middle one, or both in parallel.
I'm not familiar with the D-bird controls - how do they differ from the other 3X basses?Interesting plan!
I used the standard 3X rotary, really love the versatility it gives me on my SJ. I was thinking about using the D-bird rotary as well, but I'll have to give that a spin at NAMM before making that call.
For some reason, I think of dispersing squid ink. The aquamarine surround, I guess. Squidburst just isn't an attractive name, IMO.![]()
Damn, they are on their game something fierce!View attachment 1030202
Squidburst - LOL - I like it.
You could go along that line. InkBurst, InkBlot, who was that guy - Rorschach? Rorschach Burst?
Kinda like a deep well - a trench if you please. Ocean Depths.
The Oort Cloud?
