pull the control plate or the pg off, and you'd know in a minute.

hey Aug... if you are going to do it, you might want to think about getting some bass VI control plates cut as well and take them along to the chrome dipping place. i know there are a few of us on here that would love to get hold of them too.

i would think they would pickup different sound frequencies, but they do look like XII pups
