Ruck Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Is there anything else to the Old Smoothie pickup Ernie Ball use i.e. 5 string humbucker in a 4 string bass or is there something special about it? Im playing around with the idea of using the same thing in my Fender USA precision deluxe pre 2010 bass. Replacing the twin jazz with a 5 string Music Man style humbucker.

synthaside Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Short of the odd strip of electrical tape connecting the two halves of the pickup cover ... and the fact that the pickups don't align correctly, they are sort of scootched in i don't see a huge amount different . One of the more veteran old smoothie owners may be along shortly... there is definitely something about the neck though I play a jazz normally and stuggled with big P necks ...this is smooth as they come.
