Yan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 hello, I have a westone passive P bass. It great and I don't want to change a thing about it. The only problem is that a small bit of the metal from the pick up pole sticks up and catches my finger, just enough to make it sore after a couple of hours playing. If i didn't like the bass so much I would have just taken a chance and sanded it down, but I want to be 100% confidant no potential harm can come from that before I do!

bumnote Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If you mean the polepiece protrudes, undo the 4 screws and the covers for the pickup comes off. cut a piece of card to match the pickup including hole for the polepieces, and put that on the top of the pickup . Replace cover Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The pole pieces on this type of pup screw up and down if you insert the right allen key into the hole. Wind the pole up a bit and get a small file and take off any rough bits that catch your finger. I'm not 100% sure, but I guess you can wind it out completely. If you can, try doing that and turn the pole piece over and replace it in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yan Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks very much, didn't know the pole pieces would unscrew. Job done, lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
