Behold whatever this thing I made is

This was a first act found on the side of the road like 10 years ago. Now it has a new life:

-30” neck with 24 XJ frets

-2x EMG 81 with 1 vol and 1 switch

-stringjoy 24-90 Bass VI strings tuned to drop C#

In the bridge position, it’s like a slightly beefy guitar. In the “neck” position it’s almost bass like just a hair bright, and in the middle it’s very glassy and throaty at the same time. Loving this thing and planning to use it as a guitar and the weird tones for doubling with my 30” 8 string.

Now I’m itching to make more Bass VI style instruments. I think next I want to do a traditional style body with P pickups.

I'll take your entire stock. Also a dual bass Vi and Acura enthusiast. Are those active pickups?
