Clearly the result of too much magnet material!

Does that pickup have the old Alembic Hot Rod Kit installed?

Bill, tgo

I was the thinking that the bisonic pickup might be Hey, baby! Wanna check out my horns?

I assume a bisonic pickup goes both ways.

Bill, tgo

Good one Bill! The first time I saw Genesis Phil Collins introduced the band & he included Percy, the bisexual drum machine He explained the Percy was bisexual because he didn't care who he played with!

Re: Bisonic Pickup -

I'd hate to have to handle the massive output from that rig...

Curtis Novak makes a Bi-Sonic pickup that's hidden in an EB-O Mudbucker shell

Hello Peter
These pickups are the same as the originals, unfortunately I do not have any additional information available on them.

Excellent work Peter! That is good news !

Wow, this is so exciting! When these come out in the summer we can see just how the pickups compare to the other variations.

Hopefully these sell well and they make a few lefties next year :-)

There are 2 different new Starfire basses. The one in the original post, is one of a limited run of around 20, I believe. They were built in Guilds\ Conn. plant and use N.O.S. Guild Humbuckers. The Newark Street line of basses are built in Korea, and the Bi-Sonic is neither a Hagstrom or a Dark Star, but a copy that was reverse engineered in Korea.

I can dig it, but for a little more $$$ you can buy vintage.

QUESTION: What's the difference between a Bisonic and an R & B Band?

ANSWER: With the R & B band the asshole is up front and the horns are in the back. (fade in snare press roll followed by cymbal crash!)
