History: On DK’s bass- he joined 2 jazz bass pickups together to act as a humbucking, a Bartolini TNT with single & double coil switch too, And the pickups were positioned perpendicular and in the middle like a Precision bass. The G& D side of the pickups were slanted towards
the neck and E&A sides were slanted towards the bridge.

Comments: The effect- was a string bass sounding instrument: not a traditional Jazz bass sound like Jaco's.
DK indicated that he did not really appreciate it that much until he started playing string bass again in the late 90's as he wanted a Jaco/ Jazz fret less sound.
He eventually replaced the jazz pickups with some Bartolinis which gave the bass more punch.
This bass was sold to a friend of DK who has not contacted us.
