i was thinking of doing exactly that for a long time,but the more i worked with the high-gain,the more i liked it. it probably (?) is not as hot as the RIHS,which can actually be a good thing. i mostly wanted to do it for the look,anyway. what would be really interesting,tone-wise,would be to try an actual magnetized HS in there,just like the 50's model 4000,but again,no complaints with the standard pickup.

Beautiful bass. I'm a big fan of Burgundy, and I'm a big fan of the S. What's not to love?!
Looks like you might have the pre-73 saddles on that one? The rest of the bridge and tail look post 73 though.

Replacing the PU with a RIHS is always a cool option. I will keep the stock PU for now, as it works really well and I am attached to the tone I have had all these years.
Not for sale! Ha ha!
I will get more photos tomorrow, since so many want to see them. I will take them outside, as my photos are really dark. I am not a pro photographer, so be patient with me!
