Keith's Starfire Project Bass

So, what's the plan for pickups and routing? I know you've probably discussed it before, but I've forgotten.

[moonliner]

I think routing will be something like a big hole :-)
There will be a wooden pickup surround which can accommodate different types of pickups. Some kind of Alembic pickup, but not sure what type.  
I'm not very gear savvy and had wanted to ask you about your thoughts on pickups a while ago, but we never seemed to be able to hook up. Got any opinions on what Alembic pickup would be good for early Phil tone?

[FC Bass]

Best would be Series I/II, the only other option (from Alembic) would be Activators which come in different shapes (but are identical inside except for the P/J's if I'm not mistaken)
Most logical Activator choice would be AXY's and best for that (closest to Series electronics) would be the Anniversary package.

[FC Bass]

...and I would advise to add a master volume to the Anniversary electronics (which is: Volume x 2, Filter + Q switch x 2 (go for the 3 way switches), pickup selector and Mono/stereo switchable output)

[edwin]

I would agree. Series II would be expensive but the perfect setup. But, Anniversary electronics with a master volume would get you most of the way there.

[moonliner]

Thanks you guys. I really appreciate your input on this. I'm definitely going the master volume route.  
Thanks again.

Hi Mica,
Thanks for sending the drawings.  
Anything new going on?

[moonliner]

Hey Mica,
 
Just checking in. I understand you are all very busy with many things. I really appreciate the email you sent a while ago with the drawings outlining the control cover,  and was wondering if there had been anything new to report. Even stuff you might think is boring would be met with great excitement :-)
If there's nothing new, I would absolutely love to see a picture of the back of the neck/headstock joint.  
Thanks very much.
Thanks.

Can you please provide additional information on  the control set up? And will it have a dimmer switch when lit up.

[David Houck]

Wow!  That's very cool.
 
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Keith! Boy, that's a beautiful cake! You've got a pretty talented cake-maker there. Do you need any help finishing that?

[moonliner]

Yes, I do need help with it! If you're in Seattle, come by for some cake!
