Parallel, series, and single coil for both humbuckers I think

Good job man

Removed old pickups, got a routing template made (a guy at an engineering place owed me a favour ) routed out the pickup cavites so that the Musicman style pickups could fit, rewired and added the switches for series/parallel/single coil modes.

You can get a million different tones out of this thing - its still passive BTW

Sounds really cool. When we get sound samples?!

by the looks of it you restrung it as well. why didnt that get mentioned.

Not really as notable or important. Plus you have to take the strings off anyway to mess with the pickups, makes sense to re-string it really.

The point was he hadn't mentioned it.

Ok Spoon I give in ...I changed the strings I had some 3 week old Fender strings that I took of my SX Jazz bass so I decided to try them out.

For all those requesting a sound clip

nice round, smooth sound.

Finally got round to plugging this baby into an amplifier yesterday (Carlsbro Viper Bass 100). The range of tones is amazing, I lke the fast attack you get from the Musicman style pickups, this is quickly becoming my favorite bass.
