Common mistake, the wiring is always the opposite each other.
That shouldn't cause distortion though, should it? Humming, sure...but distortion?

I still say they need pickguards.

I wouldn't want to cover that quilt myself...but...if it was a black bass then a pick guard would look cool. The Pau Ferro with the inlays look sweet matched up with this color don't you think?

I like the colour scheme, but I think with the size of the bodies on these, they need something to add contrast. Otherwise it looks like a sea of quilt & colour. There's still tons of the quilt that would show, too.
They had the pick guards on the first series of Coda basses, wonder if you could get one as an option? I wouldn't want to spend the extra cash on the premium wood to cover it is all I'm saying....
I guess. But it just seems so empty.
You can still see most of the quilt with a guard like this.
