I'd post pics, like I suggested in another thread, but I have no proggy on this computer to make the pics small enough to post. :-\ I a database programmer/analyst...I should be able to figure something out.

Hmm... What is it about P-Bass-style pickups?

They sound good and adjust nicely for string to string balance but I like them better on a P bass. That bass could be brought back pretty easily and now we know the real name of Burgundy, it's mocha. Mochaglo.

That bass was the one the emporer had the highest bid on wasn't it? Looks like his bid was an Administrative Cancellation.

Probably someone that wants the looks, feel, quality, and construction style of a Ric, but needs some tones that a stock Ric can't provide. Just a guess!

Works nice. I have to find the old Photo Editor, but for now this will work! Thanks for the tip!
