I'm also here, if anyone needs that. Welcome to the forum!
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Thanks dudes

Lately I'm working on a few:
Flying V baritone with jazzmaster pups
Solid body violin shaped short scale EB3 bass
34" scale mustang/bronco 2pup bass
34" scale plywood bass with DM willpower/Bart MME

Future plans:
25.5" Jag/30" PJ double neck
24.75 tele with "unfortunate" mod (just wait)
30" Bass VI not sure

I have so many questions about wiring and shielding.

Im also curious about the cheap eBay/chinese pups. I know you get what you pay for but there's got to be something.

Many questions about wiring & shielding have been asked & answered on OSG. Do a search in the red box at upper right & you'll no doubt find what you seek -- recommendations, photos, wiring diagrams, etc.

You've got a lot of projects in the works. Looking forward to seeing pics.
