    You can buy Duesenburg bass humbuckers. I plan on using them in a Hoff style sometime in the future

    The Dusenbergs look really cool. Are they are magnets? Have you heard them? Would have a nice retro vibe...

    Dusenberg guitars normally sound great, so though I've never heard a bass, it's not going to be bad. I'd search for videos of Dusenberg basses on YouTube. Though the bass construction will make a difference, it will give you a decent idea of the general pickup sound.

    You all ready and hunkered down for the big blow, Fender3x?

    Working on it. We've done all the normal stuff. We're not in a zone that normally floods, but this one looks like it could bring a massive storm surge, so I'll be using the remaining hours doing what I can to keep water out. We expect power to be out for a week or so after. We have lots of propane and charcoal, but I may have to delay a bit on getting my sound samples up. Hard to do without power ;-) Thanks for asking.

    gl with the windy thing out there.. we have a real simple solution to that much water over here.. we turn the pumps up a notch.. we kinda have to though.. i'm about 6m below sea level

    gonna be a tough choice... doozy's or dimarzio's.. or maybe one of both.. the doozy's kinda fit the style of the thing.. but on the other hand the dimarzio's are a touch of the unexpected.. and they are coil splittable n stuff for even more diversity in sounds... oh well there's time to ponder while i save up for them..

    I've heard good things about the DiM's, and they have been around a long time. That said I suspect the Dusenbergs are also splitable.

    The Duesenbergs are 4 conductor as well. Can't find them on their web site so they might have stopped making them - so you may need to be quick. They are fitted to their Starplayer Bass, which is a semi-acoustic bass (of sorts), so not too dissimilar to the EB4.

    The pumps will be running full blast. We've had a lot of Dutch engineers look at out problem. Unfortunately it's a bit different than yours. Our ground is porous, so when we get surge, it just percolates up through the ground. That's why my joke to friends in other areas is that the reason houses don't have basements here is because they attract fish.
