Just thought I'd point out the inspiration for those pickups - the "Sidewinder" bass humbucker found in the neck position of the EB-0. It is a very good concept and perfectly logical for guitar, even if it sounds like mud in the EB-0.

Thanks! I did not know that, it is amazing in guitar, truthfully the best "split" single coil sound I have heard.

Yes you can, the mini tune just comes off with the top 6 tuner post nuts, it would be like installing tuners on a headstock without tuners ever being installed, not even any screw holes on the back of the headstock.

Not seeing any real info on the Gibson site but I don't see it being passive if it is a real boost - rather than lifting a 15dB cut. 15dB is quite a lot. With a compressed amp that'd give you a shedload of extra gain. Useful Into something much less compressed though (Hiwatt, R.30 Natural channel) you might be risking some serious pain.
Yes it is powered by a 9v battery located in the rear cavity. It also has a trim pot to adjust to your amp and style of playing.

You bet, see below.

I've got both a C.30 and PJ myself. Seems we both have pretty good taste! 8)
They are really great Amps! Though I replaced the stock speakers, a weber sig10 ceramic in the pro junior, and a warehouse ET-65(celestion heritage clone) in the classic 30. Love them too!
