Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 6, 2014 at 8:41am: Unnecessary bias ;)

Where did you get those 3 pole pups btw, and how high do they sit?

Comment by the anonymous pick on July 6, 2014 at 8:20am: i dont get too excited about basses in general .

Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 6, 2014 at 7:46am: How come no-one gets excited about goldfoil bass pickups?

Comment by the anonymous pick on July 3, 2014 at 3:52pm: to be clear , i did not take apart a teisco to do this .. the pups are seperate reproduction parts , and the mirror name plate is custom made from a guy that makes caketoppers . and the bod is a knock off strat i got from lbl . the rest of the parts and neck are from a swamp witch familar 6 string model .

if i get bored .. ill make anoher as a 6 ...... i wanted a 3 .

Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 3, 2014 at 3:36pm: Need to try another computer, no vid on this applecrap.

If you get bored you can always put back the saddles and machine heads and change the pickup spacing back to six string.

Which gives me another idea, need to get sone tools ;)
