G&L NBD! And a pickup swap...

I received this beautiful fretless LB-100 at work today (thanks @Trabeen !), and almost didn't make it to quitting time... So got home and plugged it in, and it played beautifully, felt great, and sounded pretty good. But being me, I thought, let's tear apart my brand new to me bass! I installed a set of (prototype) Stonewall VLO P-Bass pickups and the accompanying 100k pots, strung it with TI jazz flats, have her a quick setup, and OMG Becky, it sounds gorgeous! So stoked to have this in my collection, and I think I'm outta GAS for a while!

Where can I get these prototypes to test, asking for a friend
I wish I could get another! Scott had this one on his website as a one off and I got lucky that nobody else saw it! I'm pretty sure he'll make you pretty much whatever you want though.

So Nordstrand makes offset pole pieces, and then LeCompte goes, we can do one better ahttps://www.stonewallpickups.com/learnnd give you three pole pieces. And now we got stonewall giving us for one upping that? Still not sure exactly what it does, but it looks really cool and I bet it sounds great too.
If you really want to know, I think he goes into it on the website, either in the "learn" section, Learn
Or in one of the pickup descriptions.
