Another new bass day!
IMG_2856.jpeg

Bought this professionally refinished silver Goth as a mod platform I’ve wanted to try. Add two pups, get a custom pickguard from @Engle, install a black Hipshot bridge, install black gotoh batwing tuners, paint a matching silver accent on the headstock, do a custom inlay at the 12th fret. Of course all pending it plays and sounds nice.

Nice! 4 pickups? Can’t wait to see your switching:D

I have a black Hipshot SuperTone I’m selling, listed on eBay atm.

Great ideas!

Please say they suck. I really want to try them and any discouragement you may offer is greatly appreciated.

dunno if you want to go by my recommendations, I thought TI flats sucked and I hate Labellas....

I'm happy if they feel good and go thumpity-thump-thump, thump....

I think the dunlop flats I have on my EB4 are stainless and I like those and the random sets of EBCF's I have enough NOT to trade them out for pyramid golds...

Pyramid golds are my favorites (followed by GHS I'd say), and are on about three basses. I like the LaBella Low Tension on one bass, but was never really impressed by their DTFs on anything for some reason. I have some Fender SS flats that aren't on anything at present. They sound nice--kind of like Chromes but with more mids and tighter lows (from what I remember about Chromes).
