krispn Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 So I’ve decided while many folks are on the abstinence tip for 2020 I’m gonna do a Reverse Double P build. I’m not sure if it sounds like a skateboarding move or a sub-genre of porn but I’ll persevere with an internet search soon just not on the work pc! Im just wondering would it make sense to have a higher out put bridge position p and more traditional output in the classic position a la pj config or two similar matched pick ups in terms of output. I’ve got three pick ups I’m gonna choose from, two more vintage and a higher output one. Two will go into the Double and the third back into my other standard (now a reverse) p. Look forward to your collective insight especially current double p users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Defo higher output bridge P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Key is how you want to balance the tone/wiring I tone knob to rule them both with a Vol vol approach, separate tone knobs for each, fully passive, pop a preamp in, push pulls, stacked knobs, a push/pull series parallel etc. Thats the real fun!

ezbass Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 When I converted my old Roadworn to P/P I just went with a Seymour Duncan SPB1 and matched the outputs through pickup height. I originally had it as a VVT, but eventually changed to a VT plus 3 way selector as any subtle differences in the blend were lost in a band setting.

krispn Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Nice. I was thinking four way rotary bridge, both series, both parallel, neck. All housed on a PJ style three hole plate and maybe move the jack plug a la a PJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Well my build won’t cost upwards of £3000 but yes the switching is Dingwall inspired the similarities however end there 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Yup I’ve owned a Combustion and a Super PZ5 was my main gigging bass for about 5 years. The Super P was much more suited to my ear tone wise, not quite as modern. Edited January 10, 2020 by krispn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
