nottswarwick Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 So I thought I'd share this. I've just put a set of jazz pups from a G&L JB2 Tribute to replace the SD soap bars that I'd previously had in there. Have had a scratch plate made to cover the cavities. It sounds really nice. I've set it up with my old labella flats. Thing is, it was a cheap bass, but the wood and neck is good, tuners and bridge fine. What's not to like? I'll put some pics up in a bit.

nottswarwick Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 So here are a couple of pics of the work As you can see, the cavities are too big for the pickups, but the are well supported with foam, and with the plate on all looks good. It's funny how this bass cost me peanuts years ago, and is still with me and is now one of my only 2 basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't think I''d part with my BBN4 either. Modified mine with a brass nut, re-wired to a V/V/T arrangement,.and installed a brass neck insert kit, which pulled the neck down so tightly, the corners of the neck plate are now recessed !
