Sounds cool! Let us know how it goes. I'm actually really interested in hearing how it turns out.
I think I might have been confused about which family the bass I linked to resides in - it might actually be over at the
RickResource Forum.
Oh, and I am finally entering the world of Alembic Activators, but instead of modding a bass whose sound I already love (i.e., a Rickenbacker), I'm putting a set of Precision Bass Activators in my already-modified Fender Telecaster Bass - I don't know why I didn't think of it before! I bought the bass for about $250 around 15 years ago - he had a mid-'70s Tele Bass routed first for the single coil that was in the original slab-bodied P-bass, then had it routed for a regular split-coil P pickup. So the thing has already lost its vintage value, might as well make it into something I like, so I'm having it refinished mocha, and the Alembic pups and the humbucker wired separately.
When these projects get finished we should start a new thread on Activated basses!
