[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1479634125' post='3177904'] Clover aperion with the Delano hybrid system? [/quote] As with most J/MM style basses the MM pickup is a lot closer to the bridge than the Stingray sweet spot. The MM pup simply doesn't have the heft and grunt of an SR in that position. Pic below for comparison.

The standard Fender vintage slot head saddle screw is 1/2" long - [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/products/bridge-saddle-height-screws-for-bass-or-t-guitar-slot-head-6-32-x-1-2-inch"]http://www.allparts....6-32-x-1-2-inch[/url] If you don't mind swapping them out for hex/allen key screws then you can buy 1/2" and shorter 3/8 grub screws of the correct spec (UNC 6-32) here - [url="http://www.modelfixi..._screws.htm"]http://www.modelfixi..._screws.htm[/url] (Click on UNC Grub Screws)

Hmm, no obvious signs of having been molested. Circuit diagram and wiring schematic below in case that's of any use.

Ah, too good to be true, best ignored then!

Bargain if it's genuine.... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-american-deluxe-jazz-bass-5-string/1196974258

Use a multimeter to measure the voltage across the two points marked by the white arrows in the attached pic. If it's all wired correctly, then with the jack unplugged there should be no reading (ie. open circuit). With the jack plugged in it should read +9v (or thereabouts). If you're getting a reading with the jack unplugged then the earth wire is the culprit so try and trace it back to find the fault. [attachment=230775:Glock wiring.jpg]

I use a regular 34" gig bag and just put a 4" thick wad of foam down at the bottom which works fine. I also have a Fender Urban short scale bag but that hardly has any padding so only use it at home.

You can change only one or both, up to you. In standard config, two 250k pots present a combined load of 125k to the pickups. By swapping in one 500k pot the load will increase to 166k. By swapping both pots to 500k the load changes to 250k. The higher the load the brighter the tone. Experiment and see what you prefer. I've tried all combinations including a no-load pot (too bright for me). In the end I went back to 250k pots as I found I preferred the more vintage vibe. It's all down to personal preference and what works for you in a playing context.

Thanks, good call, just nabbed the last set

If it's a Peavey Grind then the spec here says originally 2 x vol and 2 x tone - [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Grind5Nat"]http://www.sweetwate...etail/Grind5Nat[/url] Tone control anomoly just sounds like a bit of dodgy wiring which should be easy to fix. Ric VVTT wiring diagram here if that helps - [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/wiring-diagrams?meta_params=bass-options,2-pickups,neck-srb,bridge-srb,2-volume,2-tone"]http://www.seymourdu...2-volume,2-tone[/url] As for preamp options, take your pick! If the battery fits in the cavity I'd put it there to start with and only rout a separate box if it becomes annoying.

Chris Squire gives a demo of the Electra on this vid about 21.30 mins in - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprcYnffK_o"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprcYnffK_o[/url] Not my cup of tea soundwise I have to admit but it's an interesting and unusual bass

This may help, see schematic part way down the page - [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-jazz-deluxe-push-pull-preamp-bypass.217603/"]https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-jazz-deluxe-push-pull-preamp-bypass.217603/[/url]

A replacement bridge with 4 saddles is worth thinking about - [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/squier-bronco-bridge-replacement.854324/"]https://www.talkbass.com/threads/squier-bronco-bridge-replacement.854324/[/url]
