Not exactly Geddy style, but it was a fun project.

This is rad. What is going on with the electronics? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pickup like that before

Thanks! It was a bit of an experimental setup, done because I had the parts lying around. The pickup is a Chris Turner multi-coil pickup. He uses two coils per string. That feeds into a Lusithand filter-based preamp (the single knob), which then feeds into an old Mike Pope preamp (the four knobs in a row, though one of the knobs doesn't do anything; it's just hole-filler). The three-way switch changes the coil configuration from serial, parallel, or p-bass configuration.
