Did you ever sort out that pickup issue?

You talkin to me? ^^^

If so:
Yes, I did.
Kevin made me a buckersized EGC singlecoil. Hella expensive, but sounds awesome.

I did not change the pot, so it's connected to a 500k volumepot, so it is a lot brighter(less bassy/boomy) than the humbucker in the neck. But it sounds good, and a rarely use the neck PU anyway.

Do anyone here know what value pots Kevin uses with the SC guitars?

I think so, they seem pretty compact. Changing the pickup was a hassle though. Had disassemble the whole guitar since the pickups are bolted to the neck and not the pick guard. :-)

So there an EGC Bass that I have my eye on. It seems like every demo of these that I have heard is played with a pick. Does anyone that has one here play with their fingers ? Does the sound still have that bite? I play fairly aggressively.

It'll still have a zing to it, and the sustain will be there.

It was first said they were doing 15 but then I thought I read maybe they were doing more.

May be worth e-mailing to see if they still have some available.
