songofthewind Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hey there basschat hive mind. I'm planning to put an MM pickup and a Jazz bass style front pickup in my MaybeRay build. Does anyone have an opinion about this type of configuration? I assume it will sound good, but I am concerned about issues like differences in pickup polarity, likely volume differences. I hope to put a Bourns pan pot after the pickups and before the three-band preamp, which is from a Ray 34. I am very ignorant and probably unteachable about electrickery, but please let me know your thoughts about this plan. BTW, I am also considering making a unitary pickup container/ramp to house both pickups, with a nifty rosewood top. I f i do this it means i can remove the pickups from their covers.

BassBunny Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I've got 2 basses with that configuration and it works really well. Both have have single/series/parallel coil switching so there are a number of options. The MM is generally a bit louder but that's what blend controls are for. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I had that in my Sandberg Nighthawk when i think about it, it sounded brilliant..unfortunately mr fekin courier managed to relic it without asking so back it went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I put one in my Jazz basses - between the two J pups. I can record you some audio samples later if you want to hear how they sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I have two Jazz pickups, neck and bridge, so that config is also in the realm of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
