throwoff Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have a CIJ 57' reisussue P The pickup is mounted hard to the body not the plate and has these wedges underneath that make sure its high enough. Well I changed the P/up to a Seymour duncan and need the wedge things. They cannot be removed from the existing pickup and perhaps I'm being stupid but I can't find them anywhere online... I could make them I suppose but my woodwork/manufacturing skills are poor at best. If anyone has a set, knows where I can buy a set or heck even make me a set let me know!

geoffbyrne Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Get an old (or buy a new) mouse mat & cut out appropriate shapes for pickup concerned. Use more than one level if necessary & screw down to taste. G.

Bassassin Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You can use anything really - I've bodged 'em with folded-up cardboard in the past. Surprisingly good acoustic properties... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldemar Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Yep, nothing like a bit of DIY creativity when it comes to your instruments - check this guy out: [url="http://nicksworldofsynthesizers.com/springs.html"]http://nicksworldofsynthesizers.com/springs.html[/url] The best bit being: [quote]"The reverb time (sustain) is so long that the springs need damping and I found that the best material for doing this is a slice of cucumber wedged under the end of each spring, other materials like foam or rubber tend to kill all the treble."[/quote] Sorry, not a bass link, but worth the look! Hehe. Edited March 17, 2010 by waldemar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
