BruceBass3901 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi guys, Bit of background here... I am in my final year of University studying Product Design and Innovation and have to complete a final year project. For mine, I have decided to combine it with my bass building. I have been studying pickups from various manufacturers and comparing their dimensions as I need to produce components that integrate with various different pickups. Most of this information has been reasonably easy to source, but I am now onto P bass pickups. I cannot find a crucial measurement (or enough of the other measurements to be able to calculate it), which is how much the two sections of a P pickup overlaps. The only documentation I can find of this is on the Bartolini website which says 19mm or 3/4". As I do not own a bass (gasp!) which has a P bass pickup installed (build to rectify this starting soon!), I have no way of verifying this. Could any of you be kind enough to measure the overlap of the sections of your P bass pickups and post here with the make and model? Thank you kindly wonderful BC community!

BruceBass3901 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just avoid confusion, I am asking for the distance between the straight edges of the two pickups, if that makes sense? Not the measurement to the centre of outside of the screw 'nub' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
