Here's some information about a project that my Dad, Rick Berthod, and I have been working on:

!  The Plecostomus Bottomfeeder Bass  !

The numerous mods include:

-Reverse 5 in-line headstock reinforced with maple veneers
-Two, dual coil, MusicMan-style Seymour Dumcan pickups
-Three '4-way-tele-mod' blade switches allow access to any configuration of the 4 coils
-Seymour Duncan Active/Passive preamp with 3 band EQ and 'contour' switch via pull pots.
-Bottom horn is deeply carved to allow interference free access to the high frets without collapsing your hand
-CNCed 2nd generation 'tech-form' picking ramp to allow picking hand freedom of position (instead of having your 2 or 3 'pet postions')
-Easy string changes for a string-through-body bass, via a 'fingered bridge' and slotted string tree(not shown yet)
-Dual output jacks for access to each pickup individually
-More info soon...
