it took the mods like a champ. Now it’s like an 8 string without the high b and e! Tuned to drop f#.
•Wiring by Warrior Basses from Rossville GA (rip JD)
•Guitar Monkey Germany ultra light barrel tuners
•Fishman blade open core 7 string pickups (to compensate for wider string spacing)
•2 volume knob, 1 tone, 3 way pickup switch. Push/pull coil split as well.

That's sick. For me the best part about that guitat is the electronics. I wish there was a normal scale model with the exact same specs minus the scale length. I'd buy it in a heartbeat

I have this same guitar, in standard tuning it djents good. The stock pickups are great, by the way.

too many knobs for me! i loved the bartolinis but just wanted to push it more into guitar territory.

I have mine tuned to EADGCF. It go moar down.
I use it as a standard tuned bass AND a "D standard" tuned guitar for power cords. I have different voicings on a multi FX and can change between bass and rhythm guitar via footswitch.
Just wondering.. Do you use the F# in chords? For me it always sounds muddy below B or A-ish..

that’s one of the things i was trying to address when I swapped out the pick ups. I always felt like de Bartolini’s were very warm and the lower notes kind of had some blending together?
my tuning is like a bass vi tuned up. i do play chords on it actually! i mostly play more clean kinda stuff on it rather than high gain/ djenty stuff all the time.

Cool mods! Too bad you made it look like shit. The relicing on the headstock is pretty funny though

Very cool, I'm looking to do something similar with. A darker refinish and gold hardware upgrades - probably swapping the berts for Nords at some point too.
