My Schecinbacker!

umm... have you ever thought of taking and mounting the pup IN the string cover? i'm talking like above the strings... if it would work that would be a sweet way to do it

very cool looking

are they still in production?

I think if you want to get closer to Rick tone you'd locate one pickup of the end of the f'board and one in the middle.

Set the blade humbucker to a push/pull coil tap knob. That way you can switch in and out if need be.

NCB,

What did you do with the original EMG Hz that the schecter came with?
My 04 came with the house brand pups. I wish it had the EMGs.
BTW those pups sound and look great!

I am evenutally going to replace the bridge because the stock one I got ****in sucks and the saddle on the G string keeps falling off when I change the string. So the only reasonable spot I could think of putting on is inbetween the Two pickups. I'm super leering about this bass because its my baby and I dont wanna **** it up by tweaking it and ruining it or somethen. I had an Idea but I need some advice or knowledge from you guys. This bass used to be a Active bass (I hate active and dealing with batteries) but I took the EMG pickups out and changed all the post to make it passive. Is their any secret pot and some kind of electronic that I can put in the place where the battery used to sit (Which is just an open compartment in the back of the bass) that I could wire to the high gain pot to make it more lead sounding or the give the distortion a lead guitar sound? I figure you can't install a pickup in their because It's behind the wood where ths strings are and wouldnt be able to do anything because it's not under the strings but is their anything I can install in their to mod my bass to my sound I want? If anyone is confused I'm trying to make it where people think its a lead guitar playing but really its a bass (With distortion goin like cliff burton did).

Thank you! I have the original sitting in my drawer at home with the pots It came with, you want em? I'm not going to use them I can gaurentee that. I heard you can tweak the electronics in them to make them sound awesome but I never was a fan of EMG.

I would stuff em in my 04 in a heartbeat
Ill PM you.
Thanks!

Didnt Cliff use Gibson Thunderbird pickups like Lemmy?

 

[nextcliffburton]

Yeah a Gibson EB0 and a Jazz pickup also. I actually tried messing with that but eh I'm not sure about it. I bought a Aria Pro "Cat Bass" Off of ebay for 100 bucks. The body was fine but the electronics didnt work so I swapped out the pups with a Gibson EB0 in the neck position and a Rickenbacker neck pickup in the bridge. It turned out ok but I still need to mess with it. I loved the neck on it so thats why I decided to mess with it. it's my project bass. Here's what it looks like, a little ugly but I made it work. Sounds great with distortion:

Just got those pups you sent me NCB! That was fast!
Thanks dude!
They get installed tomorrow by a local tech I have known for years, I just dropped the bass off.
Ill take the pics and post as soon as I get my bass back. I am about to pop I am so excited. I feel like I just won the bass lottery!
