This unique bass was originally made for bassist Ed Lucie, probably around 1993. It was originally made to be tuned E to high C with a D-tuner on the E string. It originally had a Bartolini soapbar pickup and a RMC ( Richard McClish) piezo system
Ed sold it around 2006 and it was converted to low B to G tuning . The pickup and preamp were also replaced. The bass changed hands about 3 months after Ed's sale, and I purchased it from the third owner, which leads me to surmise that it may have been converted for easier resale.
I had a new Fodera bridge and preamp installed in 2011 and removed the piezo system.
October 2012 I replaced the ceramic pickup with a Seymour Duncan alnico pickup.
