Tesla Pickups

    Over the Last year I've run across talk on the web about the Tesla pickup company and felt compelled to try one. So, I'm now trying out a Tesla split pickup as in a P-Bass style / the VR-B3........
  The pickup came very nicely packaged with the black plastic pickup cover having a very attractive  radius on all outside corners and nice satin finish. Also came with the appropriate screws without the lift springs.
  




    The tone, well simply put its got the P-bass punch and growl definition that one would expect from this variety of split pickup but all these features are bumped up maybe another 15-20% and thats not to say that its over the top either (meaning too much gain), its not.
 I will have to try some others from Tesla in the future.
 It gets an A-Grade......

 The Bass your viewing is one of my designs the 32 Special (32"scale Hybred nicely compact ). If you go back a couple blogs you'll get another viewing with different pickups.
