I know how it is not to have too many options... But then when you have your dreambass, you are the happiest person in the world.

Yes, the specs are correct :-) And yes, you need to wax it from time to time. Normally once. month should be enough, but then... if you play more often, maybe you feel like protecting her more, like once a week or something.
 
Thumb lifting!

Here two picks of my new Best!! These are I-Spira Neodimium Humbucker and my sound is something real...well...I cannot explain how much is it now!!!

I-Spira is an italian brand who makes every type of PU...and their really awesome!!!







Here you can hear some short clip, an easy and "classic" bass line with every configuration of PU:

Hear under Matteo Salvestrini 8:


For those who aren't confident with Italian:

Ponte = Bridge
Manico = Neck
 
Great looking pickups mate! Thanks for sharing, I will check their website :-)

ok men just arrives my thumb looks and fells great ,but for my surprise it seems that originally she was a fretless, my freatboard looks pretty like ebony and the top markers (dots) were moved and sealed ... thats the only thing that i`m not very happy ,the ebony fretboard it`s suposed to be more bright that wengue?
 
Post some pics please! I think you should happy for it if it is a well done job, because the Ebony brings a nice touch to the thumb's sound IMHO :-)

i will, after i wrote the post i plugged in , and wow that thing rocks! its a bomb , it has a punch that i `d never tried before , and really cut throught the band mix wow i`m very impresed i use to have a 1994 fortress one but really has nothing to do compared with this beauty , it`s also freted with silver alluminum frets instead of the original brass bell , but i`m going to leave it that way , soon post some other pics ;)
