Nibody Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Being 99% retired now due to health, a buddy and my former keys/synth guy asked me to record some "real" bass for his EDM track. Picked up a cheap Vintage Coaster as it was cheap and wasn't planning on keeping it, and didn't have a 5'er any more. As it turns out it's a brilliant bass for the money, soundwise and build wise, but the pickups are a little low output. Always had EMG's on my fives so picked up a set of EMG J5's... it's a 5 string jazz... of course they will pretty much fit...... no need to measure.... NOPE. There is a good 2cm overall width difference with the EMG's being the larger, and the mounting lugs are a good cm further apart on the EMG's.... GAAAAHHHH. Really didn't want to start routing the bass as wanted the option to remove the pickups and return it to stock when and if the novelty wears off. Quote
