Agreed. I don't see the reason to have both pups that close together. But that's me since I don't use my bridge pup-except as a 'pinkie' rest.

Being primarily a pick player, the idea of two pickups that close together is troublesome, especially knowing the bridge pickup isn’t really needed for me. On my Gibson w/ Lollars, I use my bridge pickup the way others might use a tone knob. Sorta like an eq or presence knob. Ironic since I never touch tone knobs on any bass I own and often remove them altogether. On my Cataldo, the only time I notice the tone knob is when it gets bumped down by accident. One day it’ll get bypassed altogether. But on the Gibson w/ Lollars, I don’t mind the bridge pickup and find it kinda useful at times

(Actually, that's only on the Epi 5er. On the 67, the pinkie's on the bridge cover)Agreed. I don't see the reason to have both pups that close together. But that's me since I don't use my bridge pup-except as a 'pinkie' rest.
I like to tune in to the Abbey Road webcam just to watch people re-enact the album cover.
What Big Star would of sounded like with a gal singer.
Santa Cruz boardwalk has one of the coolest Merry go rounds. One of the very few left that still has the brass ring thing going on.

Thunderbird Thursday is more colorful. Andy says the fluorescent light is conspiring with the camera to make the paint look bluer than it really is.
That's looking beautiful Will.
