I don't think each half are Stacked... I think they are conventionaly wound with the Humbucking Effect from each half being wound in an opposite direction... I think the price difference is in the more expensive Alnico v's the cheaper Ceramic Magnets. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.northwestguitars.co.uk/amp/wilkinson-pickup-shop/ Some Jazz pickups are wound 'stacked' to reduce the hum associated with a single coil

Tim Allen @ gig ink... Skin It for a pro look but maybe pricy... If its a simple-ish logo, single colour - or individual bits made up of different colours? - I've had a few custom stickers made by Omni Vinyl on the bay... very helpful and nothing to loose for around a Fiver...

did ya offer to sort it out while you were there?... either needs a shim - or there are no screws holding the neck on, relying on the overhang chocked on the plate! and maye a drop of lemon oil or Hi Karate! Poor P... Basschat - Never Puts a Bass Down...

Warman P bass pickups, anyone here use them
PaulThePlug replied to shoulderpet's topic in Accessories and Misc
I undetstand your thinking, but if €£$ is a consideration, it is for me, thats £16 down the drain, and maybe half the cost of a better upgrade. Lot of love for the Warman and Wilkinson, but are these simply Badged cheapies? Dunno. Recent posts and love for the Entwhistle... check ya enough room, and i think the ears are wider... Also Kent Armstrong via WDMusic And keep an eye on the FS here. Upgrading a Squier or something, but swapping on a US Fender might just be a change... -
Ibanez SR500... different sound - new pickup or preamp?
PaulThePlug replied to ReeV0's topic in General Discussion
Have you tried the std Mk1 Barts Passive? Cheapest change... Wire straight to the jack as a quick try... pot values may be different from the usual for passive.... -

Cheapy plates from China Ali Express... Control Plate fits fine and great chrome finish. Scratch Plate (Still has its plastic on...) the grey pearl looks good, adding a little flamboyance for a jazz, like a brightly colored pair of socks... rather than the full cravate 'n braces of tort! It needs some fettling around the control plate, neck pocket and pickup holes... It's meant to fit a Fender Jazz ( and pics showing it does...) rather than an Aria Pro, so no real surprise... And only a couple of mounting holes line up, but originals will be covered so no biggie... Gonna wire up the control plate pots VBT n socket. But you get the idea...

Never mind Botox... needs a Tight Bond Injection... Calling @Andyjr1515... Check out the posts and pics of Andys recovery work... in some ways are more impressive than a from scratch build. -
Tone pot removal or 2 pickups into one tone pot
PaulThePlug replied to DaleASmith's topic in Bass Guitars
I've an Epihone Les Paul thing... The Tone pot has a non latching 'push' kill switch... for the stutter type effect. Use one as the Vol pot? I think you can also get push on push off latching (rather than push / pull) if you want an OFF switch -
