Twigman Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have been well and truly bitten by the bass building bug.... My last project was a Status jazz necked Warmoth DinkyP which some of you might have seen at the recent SE bass bash: My current project is a lined fretless PJ with aguilar pups, babicz bridge converting my green PJ which I put together back in 2011. Anyway I fancy making a new bass with MM pickups just for a change. Primarily coz they look good - not for the sound they make... So I'm looking to order another DinkyP body - I do like the ergonomics and light weight of these. I can't decide between a pair of MM pups (1 bridge and 1 neck) or a single in either the neck or bridge or the sweet spot (somewhere inbetween)..... Am undecided whether to leave it passive or active and if I go active which pre-amp to use. I will more than likely fit another Status jazz neck as I love playing the one I have. What do you suggest I do with the electronics (Pups & pre)...and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 How about one in the MM position, one in the p (sweet spot) and one in the woofer spot? That would cover a lot of bases, and basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I would build one with an MM in the sweet spot and a pair of Jazz pups either side - you should be able to achieve a 70s position for the bridge pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
