Peter, what pickups are you using in the '08?

I see Peter understands that JETGLO ROCKS!
I'd be tempted to put a black pickguard on a Jetglo S/5.

JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS!

Could they be the bridge pup from a Gibson SG bass?

Sorry Guys, been cooking all day.
I really wasn't keen on the hi gains and they were very hummy. Yes wash my mouth out.
They are actually Artec violin bass humbuckers.
Just a little too big for direct replacements even though the screw mounts are the same size.
I had sign writer cnc some acrylic.
They are both the same size so the bridge pole don't exactly line up - but good enough.
Several front of house sound guys have commented on the tone - hasn't lost any of that Ricky growl.

I like these two pictures, one of my Rickenbacker 4001 BG '77 and the second of my "Grecobacker" JG '75.

I like the pic' of the BG 77 Wazzo. Looks like that bass has seen some action over the years.

I know this thread is a bit old but I have just downloaded some photos from my camera (eventually!) and one caught my eye that may fit in here. Its my '73 BG leaning on my shed

Nice! Love the burgundy!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
