    as far as pickups, I know some people don't like actives, but if you don't mind, I'd say some EMG's with an EMG electronic system.

    In my BC Rich NJ Warlock, I put 2 EMG-P's (active humbuckers in P shape), an EMG BQC System (4 band active eq, blend, volume controls), Schaller m4 tuners and a Badass II bridge, and the guitar went from decent to completely kickass (not as good as my RIC 4003 though). The bridge is great because its pretty big which helps the tone and is very adjustable so you can set the action just how you like pretty easily. Some people say that actives are too muddy, but if you get an EMG electronic system, just roll off the low and high mids a little and maybe the bass a little and it gets very clear.

    Really, any small modification that you make that suits your style is worth it, but since it's custom shop, Idk if I'd change that much on it if I were you. looks pretty badass as is.

      Personally, I prefer the tone of an alder body with a maple neck over all mahogany construction anyway.

      That really is a seriously cool bass... congratulations!

          Hey there,

          This morning I came across your bass's cousin for sale! A satin black RR bass with silver bevels... Thought you'd like to see it.




          They also have a mad maple-necked Kelly bass.



          Why do you need 5 knobs on a bass?!

          Hope those links work...

                  its actually not that bad... its the EMG BQC System

                  I just put everything up the whole way and then the only things I change are the mids because it just loads up the signal and makes it all muddy with too much low mid.

                        Having seen this bass in person - it rocks.
                        Division - American Metal that doesn't suck. Much. Even on Facebook.

                                Sweet Bass.

                                I agree though, before you "rock out" to lure the ladies, you might want do some laundry and freshen up the place.
