fatgoogle Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I want to mod my jazz bass. Not too sure on a few things though. First is i want to swap the control plate for a 3 hole one so i can have 60's wiring, Stacked volume and tone. Will a 3 hole control plate fill the same space as a 4 hole one? Also what kinds of pots will i need for this. Im having trouble Finding stacked pots. Second is i want to put a clear scratch plate on the bass, but there pretty damn expensive, so i was going to make one. Is there somewhere i can get a guide to cut one out as i lost my old one. I was just going to get a piece of acrylic and cut it. Would it be better to use a small router type device or just a stanley knife or similar. Thats it really, the only thing id like to do one day, is too block and bind the neck. Would that be a huge undertaking or manageable? Cheers Sam H.

bartelby Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I was recently looking for a stacked pot for my Warwick, ended up going with a stupidly expensive MEC one, as it is exactly what I need. But here's a link to some fender type ones: [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/electrical_concentricpots.htm"]http://www.guitarpar...centricpots.htm[/url] Edited January 9, 2012 by bartelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can buy a stacked set-up from here: http://www.grguitars.com/parts_5bass.htm I haven't used them yet but plan to order some aged P ashtrays at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 For cutting perspex, I would use a simple coping saw (much cheaper than a router, less melt, and easier to control) then file or sand to a smooth finish. Important to leave the cellophane covering in place until completely finished... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
