Rockbass Corvette Mod Ideas?

Post by MrNovember »

So I kind of got shafted in a trade last year when I traded an Epiphone Thunderbird for this Rockbass Corvette.
I say kind of because the guy pulled one of the original pots and the knobs, rewired the electronics so that the pot he replaced it with isn't even connected (and the replaced knob doesn't match the other three exactly), and didn't tell me about any of this during the course of the trade.

Notice the loose pot in the bottom right :grumpy:

On the other hand, the Corvette plays and sounds WAY better than the Thunderbird and is probably double the value.
Also gives me a reason throw in some kind of mod
I don't really know what to do with it but I was thinking one of these might be cool: http://www.emgpickups.com/products/index/136/146/4 :idk:
There's also a bunch of room in that cavity so I'm considering wiring in some kind of single knob effect

What would you do?
