AndyTravis Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Bought this about a both ago…cash converters. Had an unoriginal neck. It was lovely…but then spotted a nice 70s Reissue P neck. Game on! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 And…done: some minor tweaks but seems pretty good. Id played it a fair bit with the 60’s reissue neck on it, but this looks better: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Nice job! There's a guy I follow on Instagram (@mikepbass) who gets some very nice slap tones out those Double J pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Ooh, minty. Noice. You could do, but I would get the hacksaw out and keep the pups as-is. Different, innit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different, innit. Well…the “P” sound I desire isn’t as “P-y” as I’d like… so, I might give it a go. if it’s not right, I’ll keep the plate and pickup and I can return it to stock pickup/body.

Maybe - @Machineshas a spare P pickup from a mexi standard - he’s hopefully offering it up. If the general sound Is working - I will invest.

When I read ‘traditional P in the middle’, my (aged!) mind thought you were moving the existing J pup to the neck and putting the P in the middle! So a HBJ, P, HBJ mega combination! 😂 Edited December 24, 2022 by MungoBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 P/Jazzbucker is a great pickup configuration in my opinion. I have it in my Maruszsczyk and it sings. I imagine two of them is the sonic equivalent of a sledge hammer? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good - but I wonder if that traditional split P might add in a little warmth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Bit too much IPA in the blood to start tonight. but…lovely @Machines sent me a Mexican Standard Fender P pickup he had spare. so I’m going to give it a go. Done the approximate groundwork for tomorrow morning’s episode of “woodwork with a brew”. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Good luck with the project. I seem to recall G & L doing a similar pickup configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Well…after a bit of tidying up, it’s all together - last job is to solder and guess who’s lent out the soldering iron 🙄🤬 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ '65 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Looks great, the MXR style knobs look cool too! Edit. Just noticed the knobs were already there… they just stand out more now….
