Let us know your thoughts and review when you get time... I haven't played much with it but it's a lot of fun! The back has some marks and scratches, the case is mint in the inside but a little beat up on the outside, it doesn't bother me. As soon as it arrived I gave it a full clean up and replaced the rusty strings and added a Hipshot 3 point bridge to it. The neck pickup sounds a lot lower than the bridge pickup, I can barely hear it, so I took it to a pro and he said the pickup is no good... I called Gibson and they told me to buy the allparts replacement but that covers the older basses, mine has 2 blades inside so I'm thinking on getting a Dimarzio Model One DP120 for it and it should sound a lot better than the stock pickup. Overall, well worth it! |

I contacted Lindy Fralin about rewinding the pickup and I've got a reply by Tom Brantley saying he could take care of it so it's already on it's way! http://tombrantleyrewinds.com |

The pickup is ready and just shipped...! Here's Tom's reply: Hello Paulo I have this completed. It came from the factory out of phase with itself. This made it weak and thin sounding but it is back to normal now. I also had to add a new lead as I could not determine the final phase because of this. I'll send a phase checking procedure along with the repaired pickup. Instead of the traditional Gibson lead you now have a two conductor with shield. You or your tech will have to determine whether black or white will be used as the hot. So basically Gibson screwed it up. Well I can't wait to give it a try! |
