Special Edition Build off - Walter Ripper

Scoops, that turned out absolutely gorgeous. How are you liking the Big Singles?

Thanks!

I like em a lot! But the preamp....this thing is nuts.
I can make the bridge pup sound like a neck pup, and vice/versa

In reality, with a preamp like this, you really only need 1 pup

I need to play with it a bit more. Probably have to change the polarity on one of them. When I turn the balance pot to both, there is a significant db drop as I get to the center detent.
 
Good Lord! Talk about a true Unobtainium Unicorn. Those preamps are amazing!

How did you ever manage to score one of those if you don’t mind my asking? (He says as he pries the little green eyed monster off his back.) ;)

A few years back, there was a fellow TB'r that put one in the classifieds here. When I saw it I sent him a text and said I could come pick it up now.
I sat on it for 4 years, then back in April of this year, I thought, let's give it a try.

Wish I would have had that thought 4 years ago

Better late than never. That’s one beautiful build. Enough to take my mind off a Wal (my dream) for a moment when I read the specs and saw the photograph.

Nice work! :thumbsup::)
