    You'll have to go wired as there's too much latency on Bluetooth. Your practice amp should have a headphone jack. If you want a set that give a very honest and natural bass sound then I'd recommend Beyerdynamic DT770pro. They're really comfortable (big ear cups that cover your whole ear and velour pads which aren't hot and sweaty like some pleather types), light and the headband isn't too tight. Reasonably priced too!

    Fabulous! I hadn’t considered the screws that wouldn’t have any wood to bite into. That looks like a neat solution.so pleased the pickup covers the P cavity so closely though. It was a challenge finding a pickup that would!

    Hi Andy, that looks great, I think the shape looks good (granted this is just a mock up, the left hand side look more even). The shape of the pickup is quite unusual but visually it look like a jazz pickup at first glance, so it's not jarring at all. The neck pickup can be left out, I can keep pots and pans in there Best of luck with the final jobs, my diary is clear and car keys are in my hand 🤣 I sometimes put dymo tape labels on my basses, and I could put one across the front of the bridge to cover the tabs cut out for the previous pickup with the model name (Thunderbackerstang?) I think the number one question will be 'what pickups are those!'

    Well, that would be wrong 😂

    Are the pickups height adjustable once installed via the usual spring system? I guess they move independently of their surrounds to some extent?

    Looks great!! I rather like the rounded bezel for the rear pickup, and for it to be as small as possible whilst also covering the hole. Looks great in the last shot. Thanks for the update 👍🏼

    Super neat! Nail bitingly close now…

    Yeah that was my thinking too.

    I bought one of these recently, no idea if it’s a standard size or not but worth asking perhaps https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/degenerate-tb

    Hm I don’t like them for some reason. Or stacked pots. I think a slider switch will be quite neat and a cool take on the jaguar style, plus I think Andy has one already

    I’ve previously had it changed to blend and no-load tone which is great. There’s a switch to add though as the thunderbird pickup can be split

    These look quite fun. £380ish on Reverb Aria Pro DMB-206

    Fantastic news. I didn’t doubt you for a second! Lots of shiny bits on the bass now. Any thoughts re the switch location?

    suppose I’ll have to. It’ll be called the mustangthunderbacker

    …but I’m happy you’re all as excited as I am 🥰

    I don’t remember any of you lot paying for it 😂

    Love it thanks for the update Andy 👍🏼 I hope your finger was insured and no I’m not liable

    Little details like this are why I wanted you to work on the bass looks great

    a Europa 5 was my dream bass for a looong time, mostly because I love the look and the preamp, and Trevor Dunn playing one with Mr. Bungle. They don't come up for sale often. I bought an Elan 6 a while ago but it was a stretch too far for me and not quite as sleek as the Europa.

    Is anything else different? I find that when I open the app I need to select the transmitter if I haven’t used them in a while (everything connects and works perfectly without opening the app of course)

    Is it going to be a late night? 😂 More info on the pickups here https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/bass The owner was really helpful and I had fun discussing options with him. I also considered Mojo Pickups but their lead time was 40 days at least and frankly they didn’t seem very helpful via email
  22. ped
    Close, in some ways. How are you getting on with that bass btw?

    Sorry Si I missed this comment. Yeah kind of. When searching for inspiration I came across his Musicmaster and like what he’s done with it. I was tempted to copy his stacked vol/tone setup but I like what I’ve got now, balance and no-load tone. And I can keep the original knobs. And for some odd reason I don’t like stacked knobs. It’s my burden to bear.

    I haven’t compared the spacing to a reissue mustang with a j pickup but it looks a bit wider. Remember the PJ reissues have a regular BBOT bridge so it looks closer on mine because it has the proper big bridge. However when looking for new pickups I wanted to keep something right up against the bridge because the hole will need filling anyway and I generally like wider spaced pickups. I can only guess why the original mod was done like that - quite unusual to have cut out the pickup ears in the bridge itself.

    When Leo left Fender he took all the rulers with him
