Now for the fun bit.
As I see it there's three options for a simple reverse P mod.
Put the EA part below the existing DG part.
Put DG part above the existing EA part.
Or the simplest, and my preference to keep the core tone of the BB but with that reverse P vibe as no part of the pickup has moved drastically.
Just flip the two parts over.
I will need to make a new scratchplate to accommodate the reverse P which is no big deal and luckily the chrome on the reverse of the pickup ring is quite acceptable so I can just flip it over an countersink the screw holes.
The front has slightly rounded edges where the back doesn't, but it looks fine in the flesh.
Front,
Back,
Nothing will be irreversible, just flip the pickup, ring and refit the old scratchplate, and it's back to standard so I've no worries there. It will just have a large rectangular pickup route rather than a pair of smaller P ones.
So do folks think this is worth doing, or am I just bored and stupid?
