You should make it dual-output.


A BadassV would be in order also

I'm sure you could do it out of plastic, you're very handy

A block of plastic block and a dremmil and drill might work, I ain't handy tho

Honestly, I have no real use for dual output, I have pedals that can split for a clean blend.

As for bridges, I'd probably go more for the 'ol reliable, a Hipshot A, or take a wild stab at Warmoths Takeuchi, either being string through.

What would I be making out of plastic?

Oh, the pup covers.


You should start making your own pickups lol

Damn, I would want to play that bass so bad if you made it

@darkstrike do they all get the same amount of play time or are they just for looks.

i have to say its refreshing seeing someone with a mix of expensive (roscoe beck) and cheaper (squier VM, traben)

 

[Tommygunn]

He's got 2 roscoes too! Way expensive!!!!!


I'm not dark but from what he's told other people, he tries to give em all about the same amount of play time. All beautiful basses! IMO He needs to give some away... to me!


LOL I need nothing else. I don't have any room. I have 3 basses, 3 electric guitars and 1 acoustic guitar, And I don't even play friggin guitar. People tend to not have as many guitars when they don't play guitar . People just give me their old stuff. LOL I got a strat from my brother, the acoustic and an ibanez from my sister, and another strat from my dad... :rolleyes"

Ahhhh, I doubt there'd be any need, but, if I did need to make covers, I'd buy two standard J sets, and cut the tabs of one side of each, and glue them together, would work fine.

Eh, not exactly, there are a few that don't get played much anymore, like the purple P/J, as it has an uncomfortable neck(for me), but, I'm in the process of having that shaved down, or the 8 string, which is a sound that I don't need a lot, regardless of how I love it.
The Squiers though, do get a lot of time, as Tommy said below, for the most of them I do try to give them a fair bit of time.

See, what you need to do, is make more room!

Is that the DiMarzio Split P pickup?

okay, I thought the tone came from one of the poles being covered.

Dude, have you seen the delano hybrid pup? That thing is ballin!!! I'd love to get a stingray and mod it with that pup and a active/passive switch. Mega beast!

See, what you need to do, is make more room!

Hell, If you send some of those basses to me, doesn't matter really, I'll take anything like a roscoe or the squier telebass, I'll make room!!!

 

[Darkstrike]

Not covered, but sunk low(means you can play right up the board on the low strings, without any boominess or mud), I doubt I will find any pickup that will get the exact tone, sadly. They're Bill Lawerence designs, and quite unusual.

I have indeed, and they do a JJ as well, which is one of the one's I'm thinking of.... maye just 4 regular J pickups.

Oh, couldn't do that, you're already complaining about having too many........

 

[nutso42]

I don't have too many

Design meaning... not production pickup model?

hmmm... it would be a good move on delano to make a hybrid JJ shaped. I'd sure as hell but one for my first bass!

I have too many guitars... we can trade!

 

[Tommygunn]

The DJC4 HE/M2 model might work.

 

[Darkstrike]

Bill Lawerence designed the prototype, with Roscoes input, Fender make them in house for the production model instruments, or used to, now that the IV's discontinued too.

I can actually find the four string set, as Fender so sell their pickups seperate, but, I can't get a hold of the V set.

I have too many guitars... we can trade!

I'm afriad I have enough in the way of guitars....
