All the pick ups are, are magnets that create a field for picking up strong vibrations. Right over the field, stronger, slightly off the field. Weaker. Possibly less important with fat pole pieces, if it’s 2 per string, well so long as all strings are dead on or dead off it doesn’t matter, you can equalise loudness of the note with location, height, technique etc. Blades as mentioned, not an issue so far as narrowing the spacing, it really is not an issue. I modded a Jazz bass to have Rickenbacker pick ups instead. The normal Rick neck pick up is slightly smaller as it is normally closer to the neck heel, and I have moved it backwards so the E and G strings were just outside. schaller 3D bridge brought them all into the field. Ultimately you’ll do what’s right, but there are many ways to skin a cat, but doing it yourself gives a very customised bass which is sometimes more satisfying

Just follow the noise - it’s loud!

Until you pop in passing my hoose get a play on a Tech21 dUg Ultrabass - made for Status...

It’s a killer bass, Stealth (headed) is me 🤘🏾

Good man - I am a big believer in if you play out and about just go with it see what it does. Its quality, it’s never going to sound bad, so it’s not really a risk IMO! Thats a Stealth bass as well is it?! Hard pushed to get anything better

Congrats - nothing better than getting some new kit and getting it straight out there, best way to do it. With a Status bass as well, it will be killer

Saw this review on bass the world. Quite like the look of the 208 - design and form factor as well as sound. here is another review. https://bassmusicianmagazine.com/2019/06/the-peavey-max-208-review-made-for-performing-bassists/ And specs on the range. https://peavey.com/products/bass-amplifiers.cfm I quite like the 208

If you did have a bass to do it to you you probably have to do some wood filling (depending how many screws it has), pop the bridge in the same location to keep the scale length, change the nut. As far as pick ups go, will if it had blades, flat magnets and not pole pieces then it matters less exactly where the strings are over the pick up. Being off pole pieces and not central is not a huge issue, it gives a different sound, and may not be as consistent so you may have to tinker. Some basses are deliberately lined up not directly over the pole pieces - Sting Ray Old Smoothie as an example. so far as the neck profile, that’s completely up to you, there are flat radius ones out there, remember you can always shave an existing neck down to your requirements should you find the right bass, but not quite right neck

Get a Schaller 3D bridge and choose your string spacing

It appears daddy Andy gets Cuzzie Mummies Aubergine

Sure Enfield could do that.....

Just seen the size ask! it may be under rather than over the desk

Hartke HD25 used it with dUg

If you relic’d those white and gold basses enough to remove all the finish, then you are onto a winner, or use them as the firewood for burning Keep the pick ups tho

I can’t believe it’s not

Ooooo a different loob

Crikey, eye bleeding thread now. The Pewter is nice but all the rest look like the big roll What Tywin Lannister has wiped his bum bum with

Yes dear

Only place Gold hardware ever looked good was on BA Baracus

What were you thinking - the hardware is not gold, and the shape is normal - you are making it look acceptable
