Sibob Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Will be fitting a set of Crash Magnetic Tranducer P pickups to a project body sometime next week, what exactly do i need to fit under them? Obviously old fenders have a brass plate and some foam, so models just have foam, some have nothing?! The pickups themselves are not 'gooped' into the covers in anyway, so guessing I'll need some foam at the very least to hold everything in place. What's neccessary do you think?

Lozz196 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I`ve always used foam Si. If you PM me your address I can post a bit out to you, get yourself a stanley knife and whittle away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Foam is the best IMO. Doesn't hold up as long as springs (the foam loses it's elasticity after a few years) but it has the advantage of never breaking, not making pinging sounds especially when playing slap.

Muppet Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's not proper or correct but I have used foam cut from pipe lagging that you can buy in Homebase etc. Dirt cheap and holds up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoham Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 An easy source of foam is a mouse mat - works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
