Electonics:
EMG 40P in the neck position and an EMG 40TW at the bridge. There is a blend between the two pickups. The 40TW is switchable between dual and single coil. It has an EMG 3 band EQ with switchable high's and contoured mid. I wired the bass for 18v.
Misc:
The bridge is a Hipshot model A. Gotoh tuners, a Bone nut. The pickup routes, the entire electronics cavity, and the back of the cover are all covered with shielding tape. The only item that might be sub paar, is the wiring... because I left full lengths of everything. I've always hated going back to work on something and not having enough wire to make working on it easy. So I left myself a small rats nest. Not to mention there wasn't a lot of room left in the compartment after the circuit boards and both batteries.
So far, I've gotten a ton of comopliments on it. Just wish the neck was shallower.
Thanks for all the help.

PickUps and passiv wiring as i'm used to play my jazz-fusion. (yes, combine a MM bartolini with all wengue neck/fingerBoard, and you'll got something else than the cold MEC active!).

Although it is heavy, I can wear it for a two-hour set quite easily. When I let go of the neck, it just stays put. The body is an original design, 10-piece mahogany body with bookmatched birdseye maple top. The story behind the mahogany is that I was building some furniture, and when I put the mahogany through the tablesaw, it began to resonate deeply. I was so impressed, I saved all the scraps, of different densities, and glued them up in two layers of 5 pieces each, topping it with the birdseye maple. I think the different densities of the wood help keep out any dead spots in the sound. The finish is urathane. I don't like the sound of the wood when oil finishes are absorbed. I think they have a muting effect. Much against Warmoth advice, I never put a finish on the neck. It has been incredibly stable all these years in this funky New England weather, so I guess I can stop holding my breath. The bridge is a Schaller for which I had different brass saddles made. The pickups are EMG DCs with the active bass/treble control they make. When any of my students want to customize their bass, I always recommend Warmoth. One of them is converting to fretless thanks to Warmoth right now.
