maybe Lindsey has had enough of it after 40 years and wants to enjoy the rest of his life. I'd get tired of being a jukebox

not for me, sadly- I have an allparts bridge I've been thinking about it and I can't live with the bodge, The bridge pickup is about three mm longer, with differently placed lugs, to allow for the wider string gap at the bridge. Early mex jazz basses used a bridge pickup in both locations and its totally obvious that the neck pickup poles don't align with the strings,. Having tried the bridge cover, the cavity is too small but I think a decent woodworker could widen and length it slightly. It wont look perfect, but better than a mis aligned neck pickup. regarding the seller, he DOES state the size. However he doesn't state that this is neck pup sized and as a seller myself, I'd be adding a caution note to the listing to avoid unhappy customers. He did offer to sell me two neck pups ....hmm

If your string touch something live then there is no route to earth that does not include you

Just put a stripe from under the bridge to the pup cavity

Maybe an ironstone pair however the pole pieces won’t align at the bridge with the strings I’ll try the pup in the hole - maybe I just need to chisel out the lugs a bit

He does state it but I don’t yet know what it actually measures I’ll check - yes same guy

Also @discreet Noted but I have standard jazz bass pickups and I bought an apparently standard jazz bass body - I would struggle to find a commercially available pickup set, wouldn’t I ? As would all other buyers of that body

so DISASTER strikes i took out my geddy lee pickups to check the pole pieces align with my string "strings" and the placed bridge. The rear pickup cavity has been routed for the smaller front pickup. Surely everyone knows that the rear pickup is larger on a jazz bass ? (excepting very early mex basses where the front is the same larger size as the rear, but even that doesn't fit this case) Raised a dispute/return request with the ebay seller. I'm a bit annoyed at ths.

My old stamping ground - welcome

and which is probably made in the same factory ....

I keep the bridge cover on The pickup cover gets in the way and didnt last there , but I do like the look I don’t mind seeing the holes even because it fits with my Relic fetish

Maybe he is in a coma and thus unable to annoy

You can buy two kodak 9vs from pounshop for £1, just keep a few handy and remember to unplug

That’s because you’re sick in the head tired of Tort, tired of life

Why not go to the bass bash ? It’s in enderby

I have sone celluloid P Tort to sell but I’m unsure it would fit a non fender

I have great Tort, red, dark brown and mid brown

Sadly I'm sitting this one out this year, despite being local-ish now House needs a lot doing to it to make it habitable and I'm babysitting that weekend.

horrified....it'll sound weedy and look small....

Spalted guitard? Very hard to make an impression on and will take a knock or two well and not even notice it

arent 36" classed as extra long scale ? He'd need to find the actual strings lengths

I've just realised that the bridge doesnt have rear string loading holes and so the whole ferrule thing was pointless. Currently struggling to find time to locate the bridge on the body and drill the holes for it and the neck plate.Need to remember to bring strings in to make sure its all central.

I've used them for years with no issues _ I have also seen Blue - although I have no idea what the difference is.
