Replacement pick ups for Squier tele bass - single coil
zitherman replied to Paultrader's topic in Bass Guitars
Ive recently built 2 x 51 style precisions.both fitted with spirit pickups by alan dingwall.superb pickups at a very fair price.highly recommended. -
I had the 4 string version for a few years.i liked the almost invisible fro m the front postion markers.wide variety of tone also.only thing for me was a slight sticky feeling to the neck.only sold itwhen my jazz gig came to an end
-
I have two of his 51 style single coils in my self built p basses.also he rewound my jazz neck pickup.great pickups and highly recommended -
It was originally owned by bumnote who is on basschat.it has a set of jj valves fitted and the originals are included.im the second owner and have had it about 3 years.in that time its left my house twice,both to rehearsal studios.very little home use either.If i could find a band there would be no way this would be up for sale.after 3 years of looking im giving up. -

Are you sure you went to the right crossroads.According to legend its the junction of highways 49 and 61.

Last few days for the opportunity to buy this great rig before its withdrawn and put in the cupboard to gather dust.you will find it very difficult to find another one like it.
-
Lots of people seem to find this rig very appealing but not enough to buy it.ill leave the ad up for one more week then remove it.cheers

Im surprised at the difficulty im having in selling this rig.Maybe its a sign of the times that bass players are becoming redundant and those that remain dont want to carry anything heavier than a bag of sugar.Unwanted retirement forces this sale so a final reduction to £1300.

Thanks once again for another knowledgeable reply.Im in no rush with this build as im trying out binding for the first time as well as some inlay.Gives me time to think about the electronics.😀
-
Thanks passinwind for a comprehensive reply.i realise its quite a complicated idea.I wondered if one of the controls on the tone pots could switch to passive mode when switching the voltage off.Im not keen on the modern styling with 4 or 5 knobs and prefer a simpler look.might have to have a rethink. Cheers
-
Cheers.i havnt contacted anyone just throwing out an enquiry.Ive looked at lots of the pres currently available but none seem.to be what im looking for.Im not in a hurry as im only starting this one
-
Im now onto my 3rd 51p bass build but want to do it a little different. In addition to the single coil pickup im going to add a mm pickup but i still want it to look clean with just 2 knobs.So im thinking dual concentric volume control,and a dual concentric bass/treble control with a mm type preamp.Also the abilty to switch it to passive and have one of the tone knobs become a passive tone control.I wouldnt mind a couple of mini switches.ie pickup selector and battery switch(for passive selection.Is there anyone on here able to build a preamp to do this.cheers

Only selling this bass due to retirement.One more reduction to £950.cheers -

Hi there.the fretboard is ziricote.very brittle to work and also a very oily wood but stunning to look at
-
Update on my 51p bass builds.starting out as a complete beginner i learnt about router tearout,salvaging mistakes,delaminating fretboards,sanding then sanding again,again,again.temperature related splits on poplar.the list could go on forever.but im almost done with these.gonna do a guitar next
-
Price reduction.£800.00 will take this away.cheers -

Its unwanted retirement.its down to a dead music scene .hopefully someone else will get to play it live as its a great bass.

Unwanted musical retirement means i have to reduce my collection of gear.First up is my Dingwall Combustion.i bought this from bass direct about 3 years ago.It has the Darkglass preamp fitted(same as ng model) and the original is included.It comes with the top quality Levys gig bag and 2 new sets of strings The bass has been signed by Sheldon Dingwall and Nolly Getgood.I dont really want to ship the bass as i have poor experience with lots of the couriers. Other items of gear will follow this one.cheers Further to some questions. The weight of this bass is approx 8.5 pounds as measured on kitchen scales The pickups are the original ones from new. A few more photos Ill be in the Dorset area for a couple of weeks from 4th september in anyones interested in this bass.cheers. THIS BASS IS NOW SOLD.
