New Bass in Progress pt.6



I decided to use only one pick-up on this bass. I had two Jazz Bass style pick-ups that I hadn't used yet - EMG and a Seymour Duncan, and decided to use the later. The pick-up, I believe, should reflect the structure and tone of the instrument, rather than create a false layer of tone masking the underlying true nature of the wood combination. I decided to encase the pick-up with wooden veneers - it will not affect the sound as the top veneer is .6mm - which is more than enough to let the elctro-magnetic field pass.
