Awesome, thanks! I brought the Bich to rehearsal tonight and figured most of that out, except the Pickup Phase. Those preamps have some serious gain!

Whoa, that's a whole lot of switches and knobs! Whoever decided to include all of that was off the chain!
Look up Neal Moser. He designed all of the circuitry and you can purchase genuine replacement harnesses from him. He still makes some really killer custom guitars.
It's pretty crazy.
Certainly surpasses the Alembic Series I/II package when it comes to controls/switches.
The odd, yet somehow practical thing, is how it has an individual neck volume, but not a bridge volume.
I know that a bridge pickup, similarly wound to to neck pickup, would have an inherently weaker volume, due to it's placement, and the strings having less amplitude (is that right? Correct me if I'm wrong) at that point.
So having a neck volume to set the balance between the two, along with a pickup selector, and master volume would allow you some excellent flexibility.
Buzzard, Center Stage as it should be...
What are #4 and #9? Is #4 an Aerodyne P?
Love those Postmodern’s, especially those that had the binding. Missed the chance of picking one of those up when they were available but did score a non-binding version in desert sand with tort.
That's a nice bunch.
I'm really into the PM PB and the Ray but also even though, and Lord knows I've tried, the Ric. All lovely for sure.
My daughter wanted her 24" guitar converted into a bass.... pending setup (and seriously considering an 18mm spaced bridge!)
Before:
After:
Dowel work to reset the headstock (and yes, I fudged the tuners, I know!)

Cool man. I say tuner doweling = 7 out of 10 but Dad-ing = a solid 12 out of 10! Your kid will remember that you did that forever but likely remembered the tuners for like 2 1/2 minutes or however long it took to play the first note. Cool.
Totally agree!
Oh, and she actively and willfully participated in the process and would get mad at me if I started on some part without her... unless it involved blades or the belt sander, then it was a hard NOPE from her... lol
You can see it well in pics but the headstock is refinished with a black base and glitter to help keep up with the purple sparkled body... Epoxy, of course (I mean, this is me we're talkin about!)

New bass day yesterday - I wanted another 30 scale and found this Ibanez used at almost 500 of sticker price.
So far - everything is good. Many people say these pickups do not have lots of highs - that's ok I am a bass player. . . . . . .

Nope. #4 is a Fender CS Postmodern, #9 is a Jericho Alpha Blacker.
