Remake of the first Brooks bass

[Matt Liebenau]

And the inevitable video demo of course ;-)

Very nice. I've never had much luck with out of phase tones on bass but the out of phase setting on this sounds pretty good.

Is there a demo of the original? I'm still intrigued by that pickup combination.

Yeah there's an ancient video of me playing the first version of this bass with the G-3 single coils.
I was never happy with their sound. So at a certain point I replaced those with custom made single coils by Gun Customs (NL)

Nice. I used to have an S1 which I believe were the same pickups and switching as the G3.

2025 certainly had a good start!
