Thank you so much

 

Oh! Thank you. They have a lot of nice ones. Have you seen the new Race Car Editions? Those are less subtle :')

 

Thank you! I am already enjoyinh the hell out if it

 

I swear to the bearded bass god, I already thought of you. "Ha! At least one bass, the Lobster hasn't already!"

And my second thought was, that Inam thinking of modifying it and that would be something you would love on your channel.
The Delanos XTender 5HEs are double twin coils, so there are 4 coils and you could activate and deactivate all of them separately.
The Sandberg allows to split the coils...but I would love to have two separate 5 way switches to switch the pickups separately in all 5 configuration. My very amateur scribblings of this thought.


Could you inagine? A Humbucker on the neck and a P on the bridge? Flick the switch!
Two Ps in a row? Flick the switch!

I am searching a luthier at the moment who can and will do this.

 

I bet your StingRay is nice as heaven, too!

 

Thank you so much! Yes, I love that detail, too!

 

Sandberg already told me, that this would possible and they could do that themselves, but I would have to wait one year...and that is...nah...
So I am hammering down the luthier street.




...and then I thought of a custom shop bass with 3 Delano Xtender 5HEs...on on the bridge...one in the middle...and one directly at the neck.
Three 5 way switches...125 pickup configurations.
Three Volume knobs.

Unlimited Power....

 

I have 3 Plek'ed basses by now and they really are unbelievable.
Thank you so much!

 

Thank you very much! Yes...indeed. This bass sounds unbelievable and plays incredible. More than I have could hoped for.
