I like that one a lot Joey. Vintage trim would look nice on it.

I think so too Dane. It almost looks like a Jetglo V63 with 8 strings to me anyway.

So true, but I sure wouldn't dare taking the wood out to move to the 1/2" spacing!!

I wouldn't remove any material either at that critical structural point just to move a pickup 1/2" forward. A vintage guard extending all the way to the pickup surround gives the visual illusion of the pickup moving forward anyway.

I like it how it is.

You just like anything that matches your Buick, gearhead!

And, nobody bought it with the Buy it now, increasing price auction, so now it's back with a 3 day auction, $2800 BIN. It's at $760 right now...

4003s/8

And someone finally took it with the $2800 BIN.
Did anyone here pick it up?

I know, I'm just bustin' your chops Brian.

(And I'm only doing it because I know you can't reach through the screen!)

Anyone here know how many of the S/8's were produced? I think it's a question we all would like to know the answer to ....

I wouldn't think of removing wood to move the neck pickup to 1/2" spacing on an 8 string. A RIHS pickup with a vintage surround (if I could find one) and a vintage style pickguard are the changes I would consider. The possibility of me doing any of that is little to none anyway.

There is a lot to that actually. I have always felt that my S/8 and my V63 were nearly the same bass. They have the same body shape (horn sizes and depth of the cut-aways) and the necks are about the same shape.

Ted, it is SO great to have you back on-forum again! Have a very Merry Christmas and a most Happy and Prosperous New Year!
