Clearly the result of too much magnet material!

I was the thinking that the bisonic pickup might be Hey, baby! Wanna check out my horns?

I assume a bisonic pickup goes both ways.

Good one Bill! The first time I saw Genesis Phil Collins introduced the band & he included Percy, the bisexual drum machine He explained the Percy was bisexual because he didn't care who he played with!

I'd hate to have to handle the massive output from that rig...

Curtis Novak makes a Bi-Sonic pickup that's hidden in an EB-O Mudbucker shell

Hello Peter
    These pickups are the same as the originals, unfortunately I do not have any additional information available on them.

Excellent work Peter!   That is good news !

Wow, this is so exciting! When these come out in the summer we can see just how the pickups compare to the other variations.
 
Hopefully these sell well and they make a few lefties next year :-)

There are 2 different new Starfire basses. The one in the original post, is one of a limited run of around 20, I believe. They were built in Guilds\ Conn. plant and use N.O.S. Guild Humbuckers. The Newark Street line of basses are built in Korea, and the Bi-Sonic is neither a Hagstrom or a Dark Star, but a copy that was reverse engineered in Korea.

I can dig it, but for a little more $$$ you can buy vintage.

I also asked about chances of a 2-p/up version; no response.

QUESTION: What's the difference between a Bisonic and an R & B Band?
 
ANSWER: With the R & B band the asshole is up front and the horns are in the back. (fade in snare press roll followed by cymbal crash!)
