I don't GET it. Are you a REPUBLICAN or A royalist?



No need to apologise bud. I could see you had the wrong end of the stick. Although it was a bit naff (if I'm aloud to use that word) to have a go at someone offering to help.




btw I think it was Princess Anne

I prefer to keep the P in it's exact sweetspot, and put up with the MM a couple of mm nearer the neck.

There are, of course, many ways of getting it right. For me, I always use the measurement from the 12th fret. So, for a Stingray pickup, the centre of the pickup, between the two rows of polepieces, needs to be 13.5" from the 12th fret.

Slight disparity in these two posts ..... but yes the important thing is to measure from the frets.
You are actually taking your measurement from the nut but it is far more convenient to use a fret as relative starting point.
I think people are possibly mistaking the positioning of the bridge as a fixed and finite thing. All bridges have differing designs and therefore differing footprints and so the placement is arbitrary - within a tolerance. Even stating the instrument's scale as 34" is just a guide to it's proportions, as rarely if ever do the strings come in at 34" (bridge saddle to nut distance) once it has been intonated. Therefore all measurements must be taken from the nut ... or your preferred fret.

My measurement is definitely from the 12th fret. The 13.5" is the ideal stingray position (although I do believe MM have changed it a bit between different models over the years). I was saying that in a P/MM I am happy having the MM pickup a tiny bit nearer the bridge, to enable the P pickup to stay in the Fender sweetspot.

I think she got if from Norman Stanley Fletcher, a habitual criminal.

I saw a documentary about the writing of Porridge. The script writers claimed to have invented the word.

The writers claimed the phrase "naff off" as an acceptable alternative to "F off" on TV. The word naff alone IIRC dates back to 1800s army or navy slang, so yeah, could well be HRH The Duke who started it - the old sod!

Or a normal sized Jazz replacement from SD or Delano as mentioned earlier in the thread?

I'm more or less a republican BTW

Naahhh... You need a Kent Armstrong MM style. I've got one in my Wishbass with round-wounds. It's got a real growl. For the money it's an incredible sound. (IMHO of course)

I'll try to record it over the weekend.
