overdriver Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi folks Can anyone with a short scale stingray tell me the distance from the nut to the centreline of the pickup, please? It's 79cm on a 34" scale Stingray for reference. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 You could, ahem, scale it down and it would be very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdriver Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 I have worked that out, and I just want to see if that's what they did, or is it in a different place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdriver Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I bought one and measured it for anyone who wants to drop an MM style pickup into their short or medium scale bass. 34 scale length pickup placement is 79 cm from the nut to the pickup centre line 30" scale length pickup placement is 69 cm from the nut to the pickup centre line The ratio is roughly 1.1:1, so if you're doing a 32" scale, it would be 73.8 cm from the nut to the pickup centre line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
