Fitting PBass Pickups


Recommended Posts

Just replaced my stock PBass pickup from my Player series 

 

Fitted the Fender Original PBass pup ( not the CS62 ) and all went well but a question ??

 

How critical is the pickup sideways lean ? Ie viewed from the playing angle, mine ( due to pickguard ) is leaning slightly back towards the bridge. 
 

This isn’t the string to pole angle you see when viewed from bridge to headstock ( I’ve set that correctly to ear and approx 3mm pole piece to string underside when fretted last fret ) 

The angle that may or may not be that crucial is the “ parallel to body” when looking at pickup from playing view 

 

What’s your thoughts ?? 
 

By the way the pickup is nice and a bit clearer than the player stock with better mids and less boomy sounding

I think in my case it’s the pickguard pushing it over slightly 

 

I’ve filed a 1mm / 2mm off the leading edge and it fits over the pickup better without nudging it over slightly 

 

Now they look parallel to the bass body 👍
