That would be awesome. Stick a go pro in an enclosure with a soft touch switch to start and stop recording. HMMMM

Thanks dude!!!! Right now I'm sending the pickups (unsplit) into an ABY box and sending it to two different boards and two different amps. Terrifying!

Thanks dude!! I think I might get some black pickguard screws, but other than that I'm happy! I also messed around a bit with the wiring and got a decent amount quieter than it was perviously

Yeah, that's awesome. The octave strings were a good idea. What'd you do to make the pickups quieter? Somehow I forgot that P pickups are just two separate single coils so it didn't even occur to me that they'd be noisy when split.

Well the Lace Pickups are two seperate humbuckers, so it was really weird that they were noisy in the first place because each other alumitone I have is dead silent. But I honestly think it stems from running two 10' cords from the outputs into two chains of effects and then into two amps. I originally forgot to tie a ground from the volume pot to the jacks, but after I did that it got really quiet. I noticed when I only plugged into one amp before I added that second ground that from either jack it was quiet, but then with both amps together is when I got some noise

OH. Cool part about the bass is when you have the treble side on and strum the bass side you get this ghost drone which is creepy as hell
