..and actually, to further Cliff D's point, at the time I was looking for a Mandobird, and they acted like it was such an unusual request, yet they had this thing in a glass box...

I was at that shop in London once, but they only had one Explorer-Mando... but I snapped a pic with my phone. Sorry about the low-res (it was a phone...). The guy there said it was worth $30,000 USD....

Really? This is all there is? Thanks to the two who posted. Are there instructions to deconstructing a split P-Bass pick-up to work here? What if I want to spring for a really nice one (Bartolini). I...

I recently purchased a new mandobird and am wondering about common mods: pick ups, bridges, pots, caps, etc...

Are there any schematics on altering P-bass pick ups to work? Cool replacement...

Hey CLeRIK, could you post a pic of your mandolin after you wrapped it in newspaper? Thanks...
