Apologies if I messed up anyone's name. I wonder if anyone out there on TB has a Stryker. Quick question: Do you think reverse explorers should count here? Like that famous guy who has a reverse stryker?

Yes, they're still explorers.

Hi everyone, I'd like to be part of this club!

'84 Gibson Explorer; well used and abused. In my possession since '92. Great bass!

That black gibson is sweeeeeeeeet!

 

[Spleenface92]

Bump. I want to change my Explorer to a dual P setup...but I don't have any money...

 

[Mudfuzz]

Bartolini makes soapbars that have split coils in them [Pbass-ish], it's either that or a massive pickguard..

 

[Spleenface92]

hmmm. WHen you say massive...how massive? I mean, this is all figuratively, as I don't have any money whatsoever. (If I just misused figuratively, forgive me)

 

[Mudfuzz]

As in it has to cover up all the holes. P-bass pickups take up more room then a soapbar like what is on your EXL, and they are a different shape so there would be big gaps around the P pickups. So you would either have big holes in you bass, a big pickguard or you could make plates/oversized pickup rings to go around the new pickups and cover up the holes.

The bass in this video has had it done, its a good example of the size of rings needed.

 

[Spleenface92]

Ah. Good to know. Well, if I was gonna put dual p's on any bass, it'd be this one.

That looks exactly like my old Explorer. The way the paint's cracking, even the same busted corner on the case. Weird.

 

[Mr M]

Here you go, measured in inches for my convenience

Pitch at bridge: 2.25 inches
Pitch at nut: 1.50 inches
Nut length: 1.75 inches

Pitch measurements are outside edges of strings (not center to center), so remove a couple millimeters for exact exactedness.

Thanks a lot, you're better than Gibson Customer Service

 

[Spleenface92]

I'm still waiting to see pics from that guy who has 2 ibanezes.

 

[Spleenface92]

Bump for my own club.

 

[Spleenface92]

Mine might have to go bye bye....I owe my dad a lot of money, and he says if he doesn't get the money by the end of the month, he's selling something of mine. Which, means...bye bye explorer.
