I don't think it's an option...but that being said...maybe it is
I mean...it's a US bass...I'm sure the half guard could be arranged. Not sure I like it personally...

I do like it on brettso's new decade. Give a cool non-reverse t-bird look.
DING!

Now see, something like that along with my DJ and BG would look uber classy....and I could try the neck on my glaub![]()
Here is a decade question. If you get the humbucking chi's, could you install a 5 way switch like the Stingray HH's?
I don't think so. Not exactly sure why, but Kirk said that running one single coil Chi and a humbucker full on does weird things. Not sure what but...
hmmm....when would you ever run a single coil with the other full on?? Maybe I am missing something. I'm not all technical...I just rock out.
He he he! Sure! Like a 4-94, but the difference it that the neck jazz pickup is a split coil. Chis do not come in that flavor.
I meant dual humbuckers....
So I've been loving the Silver Surfer with Sunbeams, but I thought I'd try something different. I put some JO flats on it and started favoring the neck pickup lately. WOW.....I'm getting this very cool upright tone that is complex, woody, girthy, and yes...organicIt's just this primal old school vibe that's so naturally beautiful...I can't get enough! Love the fwack sound of the attack and the very full, round, slightly muted notes.
Totally feelin' it! Evan...you and me are sharing this mindset! Just thought I'd share my excitement!
Ebony+low action+JOs+ChiSonics+passive...just amazing! Very easy to get some funkified grooves going.
YES! I kept telling Doug to stay with the flats on his fretless, but no dice.
Holy crap! What model!?
55-01 with custom guard to hide rountings, with a P pickup dropped in.
