I love rosewood. But I can live with ebony just fine.
Holy happy horse poopie, the B-16 bigsby is a shaging 50’s engineering marvel, like the shaging Edsel…
Gargantuan pain in the ass to get set initially, but so far I’m liking it….
I’m still waiting on my headstock decals so I can finish paint/clear, and I have the treble strings set up at the nut and saddle, but I’m going to bed and I’ll do the bass strings and finish wiring tomorrow.
That's gorgeous work.
But where's the down side?
How would you compare them to J bass single coils?
I can't remember the last time I heard J pickups through my GK. Your signal chain makes all the difference in the world, so online demos do nothing for me.
blah blah blah….serious bass geekage……Miles’ gorgeous VP with Cobalts….hard to believe these are flats…happy TT y’all!…

Just found this pic from a looooong time ago with my old Danelectro. That was a really fun bass.
Irv is the spy who came in from the cold.
Did you get the table working correctly?
You can get other pickups in the EMG TB style. Maybe try reverse P pickups in the TB shells. That would sound different than TB+.
