Check out the Jackson Pollack paint job!
Alembic Jazz Pups (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190230100811&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123)
Looks like they would fit into a bass for Doug Wimbish from the Living Colour days.
That color is molded right into the pickups.
A good mystery writer always leaves you hanging. :-D
Mica, can you give us any detail about the background of these pups? Thanks!
...WOW, they look absolutly great!!!
When were they made? Thanks!
They are called Clown Vomit and are still available as an option. Do a search on this site and you'll get more info.
Bill, tgo
cool...I'm into that splatter thing...I bet the process is a little toxic...the result is definitely intoxicating.(http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/395/52744.jpg)
thanks for the info bill!
peace
I think I have just found my next band name
I saw a particularly amusing documentary the other day called Who the F*** is Jackson Pollack?, if you are into that sort of thing. I love his paintings, although I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I remember as a kid I got given a christmas gift by my godmother, and it was a craft paint kit. Essentially it was a bucket that would swirl the water in it, and various fast setting acrylic paints which you pour into the bucket of swirling water - and ostensibly you dipped whatever you wanted into the bucket of swirling water with swirling acrylics, instant Pollock coating on whatever you cared to dip.
I see these pickups closed very high, highest I've seen for a used pair of J type activators.
...marbling/ebru one of the highest arts in my eyes.
suminagashi is the japanese style of doing that with inks...
...there's a couple of neat vids on youtube I've seen.
The dutch had some masters hundreds of years ago...no acrylics back then tho.
