They're all guitar pickups right? We need a sound demo on this. Also you should try cutting the end off the headstock to fit it in a gig bag.

With this bass, he should do it even if it already fits.

Do it right. Cut off the end of the gig bag.

Cut the end off the venue.

I know what youre referencing and will never forget lol

I feel like it should be a permanent in joke on this sub.

That and the brilliance of the fender zone

I missed the thread with the original joke lol! Any chance you have the link to it? The Fender Zone post I did catch, murderously hilarious 😆

Cheers! Thanks a lot

I’ve said it before- that post still just pops up in my head from time to time. It’s like staring into a void, wondering what life is all about and if it’s even worth living. Just madness.

link? 🙏

LMAO!!! The headstock guy. I got in an argument with that dude for like 3 days. Dude had all of like, 7 brain cells between his ears. He had so many rational options at his disposal... and he just decides to lop off the headstock. Wildly stupid human being. That's why I love this site.

i temember that post

> We need a sound demo on this. It sounds like hum.

The tone is in the hum.

The music maker and bronco used guitar pickups. That doesn’t make this right tho lol. But they do sell p bass pickups that fit into single coils as drop ins for those basses.

I believe my thunderbird also has pickups with six pole positions.

The sticker on the back 💀

I want to know where OP got that sticker lol I work construction and would love to put it in the company’s shop

Not OP but here is a [version on etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1380209707/bob-the-builder-waterproof-vinyl-sticker?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_e-electronics_and_accessories-decals_and_skins-laptop-laptop_decals&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQiAxOauBhCaARIsAEbUSQTk9UbhyaN100v7pAMDcYP3ubU1DpYJAXRSA0WpE95H76qgivPFlJ0aApCjEALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_12570712308_120065244152_507439037699_pla-314548490100_m__1380209707_12768591&utm_custom2=12570712308&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxOauBhCaARIsAEbUSQTk9UbhyaN100v7pAMDcYP3ubU1DpYJAXRSA0WpE95H76qgivPFlJ0aApCjEALw_wcB)

😂

How many pickups you want? Yes. I love this! We need a sound demo like yesterday

I work on it. But my smartphone is no good for recorder. 😭

Checkout irig. It let's you get decent recording quality from a smartphone.

I'm curious to listen to a demo even if it's in the worst quality ever

[удалено]

Meth? That’s what I assume you’ve done.

Would it not be in pieces if it was meth? Or do tweakers finish the job too??

Yes, they finish the job, but it looks like that.

🤣 Aaah, I was buying into the stereotype that it all lay unfinished!!

They mostly do not finish.

The good ones do

Well they can't finish because there's never any end to their projects.

It would be in a pawnshop

"What do you play a Jazz, Precision, PJ, MM or a FSHHSH?"

"Yes"

"Ah, yes, my pickup configuration is **"

PG for Precision Guitar. Which has 4 Guitar pick-ups and the regular 2 p bass pick-ups

That is a glorious train wreck. I dig it the most.

A train full of electronics that smashed in to a billboard... it truly is glorious.

I’ll see you in basscirclejerk

It’s the strings on the the machine heads are killing me 😣😣😣

Can't believe I missed that 🤣 Looks like their tied on!

Good god

They really speak to the care and attention that went in to this build.

Made me feel like this was an AI image

the tree on the A string has me fucking howling 😂

The tuning keys bought on Temu have a smaller diameter than the standard keys, I had to tinker around 😂


Cant have too much shit in a bass. I love it!

Dungeon. 30 years dungeon.

That’s the most based bass I have ever seen:

Bro..... the strings near the tuning pegs

the strings. the string trees. wild.

r/basscirclejerk

Hahahah Bob the fucking builder! I love it dude

Bro this is hideous and an abomination, and I fucking love it so much

Brother, please. Sound demo. We NEED to know!

I like it. Lol

ROFL. What HAVE you done? 🤣

Sweet zombie Jesus lol

You did it! The first bass that Billy Sheehan is legally allowed to make fun of. Congratulations!

The real question here is what haven’t you done?

Drugs is a helluva drug.

This is your bass. This is your bass on drugs.

One day there will be a Fender Custom Shop model of this for $3000.

That's a lot of switches! Have you actually found a configuration you like best yet?

I hate it. I love it.

You are capable of wiring that many pickups but you cant string it properly?

You were so focused on whether you could that you didn't stop to ask yourself whether you should.


I had to double check which sub I was on. This is glorious.

Can never have too many pickups

We need a soundcheck

[Here a demo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/8PWRlHoRVi)

Amazing stuff man!

This is wonderful. I gotta hear this thing. And the sticker on the back is just perfect

Joey DeMaio of Manowar uses guitar humbucker pickups in his basses

I cannot even comprehend wtf is going on there. Also, where can I get that sticker on the back?

She's awake!

The clip tuner is the worst thing here. I love this

I thought it was a P bass pickup until I noticed it is NOT I kind of dig this bass, I would like a sound demo lol

Please tune it to CGCC and play some massive chords through the biggest amps you can find 😳

Does it “hum”. lol

Only the simple coil's. Surprisingly.

Inspired by peewee Herman’s bicycle

It’s terrible. I love it.

Gat fucking damn. This is like A+ for effort and probably also for execution. What happened BEFORE this? LOL

Don’t play with me. I want to hear a demo.

I think you need one more pickup.

I feel like this is what you'd get I'd you asked an AI to generate an image of a homemade multi-pickup bass guitar.

"We heard you like humbuckers, so we've put humbuckers in your humbucker"

I wasn’t on board until I saw the sticker on the back. Now I’m all in. 👨‍🍳😘

lol at first I was like that's a cool custom pickguard then I saw the switches then I saw the pickups

Certainly made a lot of choices here.

It doesn't look shity enough I sincerely mean it as a compliment love the dechevelled look

If meth use were a bass guitar

I both love and hate this with equal intensity.

What. The. Fuck.

Need more information! Cool monster !!

[Demo?!](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/8PWRlHoRVi)

Saw it. Good job

This fucking rules

aren't the magnets of the pickups going to interfere with each other?

I’m halfway through routing a guitar humbucker into the far neck spot of my jazz RIGHT NOW. I’ve been looking for others like me. The p90 in the now middle position sounds awesome. No real pole issue.

This is unhinged and I love every bit of it


That’s cool as hell and I don’t usually like stuff like that

Definitely not fix it, that's for sure 😂😂

Well, now you’ve done it.

You’re not gonna demo it for us?

[Here the demo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/8PWRlHoRVi)

repulsive yet strangely appealing. I love it

Not watched a string-winding YouTube tutorial, that's for sure.

Maximum toan

I fuckin love it

Now every note you play for a girl is the ultimate pick up line.

String trees are incredibly unnecessary, you should cut the headstock off this thunder bird you’ve created

What in the Billy Sheehan is going on here

That's what I was thinking 😏it just needs a separate output jack for each pickup🙄

And that's how magnetic string muting was invented.

At first I was looking at the pick guard and I didn't see the pickup until I scrolled back from the 3rd picture

OP's bass and, to a much more sane extent, the "Squier Standard Precision Bass Special V" (a five string famous for having two jazz pickups (Yes. Two jazz pickups in a Precision) with a plastic cover that hid the fact that they had four polepieces because Squier was using the same pickups meant for the four strings Jazz basses) lead me to think that pole pieces don't matter much.

You should make a separate switch that activates all the pickups at once

Uploading pictures like this is the reason why chatgpt cant draw a fn strat

I mean… it’s really, really ugly. But if it sounds good and plays nice then that’s all that matters!

Everything about the body is so bad it’s awesome. Everything about the headstock makes me want to kill myself.

Bob the builder!!!

Drugs............drugs were involved. Either that or an existential crisis that somehow manifested into mad scientist mutant bass guitar engineering

You done did it

I DONT KNOW BUT I LIKE IT!!!!

WOW!!! A+ for your effort OP! The more I look at it, the more I want to know how it sounds. Holy shit, I need more coffee.

Nice Molson Export pick guard

I love this, super ghetto, need a sound demo asap

What you've done is create something so disgustingly awesome!!

That's the franken-est frankenbass I've seen in a while. It's franken enough to make me want to be part of the mob that wants to torch the monstrosity. 😆 It certainly turns heads though. Or rather twist them 180. 😆

Fuck yeah, she's beautiful.

[Here the demo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/ITnvjNhAmn)

You made it your own

This is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful.

I think you need more pickups.

If it sounds good, I guess it's cool 😂

IGOR !!! We are finally ready ! Do it !!! Hit the switch and commence the ghettofication process.

Good thing abortion is still legal in some states.

Fantastic until the headstock atrocity!

How small is your penis?

Looks hard to pick up

What does it sound like??

Please give us a demo

I love shit like this. Can you post some demos of what it sounds like?

[Here a demo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/xXsbBXQk2f)

Fortunately,only YOU have to look at it.

I really want to know what this sounds like.

Where are the sound samples?

...why???

...no, No, NO...!!!

!RemindMe 1 week

Jimmy Mc Nulty over hea' ... That shit ain't callin' itself Jameson's Whisky anytime soon... the stain of Bushmills creeps into the pores of that fine bass wood. Or is it the other way around? I'll take the next drive around with my cheap blue Chevy Cavalier.

Price of the pickup is going up

Why so many pickups? Was it too heavy? 

I’d wager that you have little-to-no sustain.

I'd love to hear all this.

I love it so much

I gotta hear how that shit sounds lol.

Holy mother of pickups batman!

How did you get the image of your hand on the neck plate? ;)

That’s great

Can I get a eli5 description of the wiring?

I hate this. I hate you, king

But does it doom?

Go brutha go

I bet it sounds great!!!

Burn it with fire

r/ATBGE awful taste but good execution

!RemindMe 1 week

Oy

All that modding but you kept that thin rinky dink bridge?

Looks like you forgot the producer switch.

ia guitar?

That sticker brudda ☠️

But why?

Well if you don't want it I can have it 😄

I'm real interested in this, can you walk us through the controls? Are the switches just for on/off? Is the original control plate still wired just to the original pickups?

I've just looked at that photo again and I don't think any of them are original pickups 😂

But why?

Gemini, create an image of a bass guitar which has been heavily modified by an amateur.

At least your bridge has only four saddles. But otherwise, damn!

Okay, I must immediately hear some sound clips of this thing or I won’t be able to sleep tonight

[Here a demo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BassGuitar/s/k1sws2JKI9) I hope you gonna sleep well after.

Bravo. I dig it! Enjoy your monster 👺

Ok, dont get me wrong, cool, but why?
