Hi Lynn,
When I saw you in July, I think you mentioned that you had ordered a new pickup for your Eminence. I'm considering adding a backup pickup to mine in case my original Realist breaks and so I'm wondering if you've installed the new pickup and if so, how you like it. What did you order again?
 
Hi Tom,
The new pickup is on the way. Upton Bass is making a dual-wing Revolution Solo pickup. Usually they make a single that fits in one of the bridge wings. With the way the Emminence top vibrates, they are experimenting with the dual to have it amplify all the strings more evenly. The pickup volume being even across all the strings with the single-wing RS is not an issue on my 3/4 bass.

Cool, thanks Lynn. I'll poke you again in November to see how you like it.
