Here's a close up.

Very nice! What kind of pickups are those? Two humbuckers, presumably? They seem identical and fairly close together -- do you get sufficiently different tone between the two of them to make the blender pot worthwhile? I wonder whether you might not get a greater variety of tone if you replaced the blender pot for #2 with a five-way rotary switch and wire it for various humbucker/single-coil combinations.

Martin,
Thanks for your kind words. The pickups are EMG select p-bass
and are single coil with a blade pole. The owner loves this setup for his Blues and rock playing style. He also likes
how quiet they are.(no hum) No cavity shielding either.
The tone change with the blend pot is subtle. He told me when he switches from his guitar (a strat) to the emando he
turns his treble on his amp up 2 clicks. Works for him.
I adjusted the pickup heights to what I felt was a perfect
balance across the strings. He ended up lowering the pickups
under the E string.
