You could get single string bridges and position them so they line up with the existing through body holes.

Wow this happy discussion seems to be taking on a whole new guise. It's kind of like an aggressive FS thread now. And seeing as the OP has hinted at being a trader or a bass finder general, one can't help looking back and thinking that it started out with that intention. If this bass actually is for sale maybe it should be posted as such in the appropriate section.

^ He's in a Chili's tribute and I'm in a Rage one. End of thread.

Chili's and Rage you say? There's a couple of MM4 Stingrays in the FS section that should sort you right out.

Just back from the fireworks. Hmmm that just leaves the pots. Wire just the vol ones up and miss out the tone. Once you've eliminated them bring the tone pot back in. You should be able to find your spanner in the works that way.

Have you tested the pups? Wire each one up (one at a time) direct to the output jack to make sure they're firing on all cylinders.

Your diagram looks good to me btw.

Silly question: the neck pickup isn't an EMG by any chance?

Certainly doesn't look like a bbot....

Why do you want to specifically put a [b]3 screw [/b]Badass 3 on when a [b]5 screw [/b]Badass 2 is closer to what's on a C20? Come to think of it, isn't the C20's stock bridge pretty high mass anyway?

I've used 2 Dr. Farts necks in the past. One was very good and the other not so good. The bad one, I bought off here so I felt was non-returnable without a lot of unwanted hassle, was roughly turned out (certainly not finished even close to the standard of the 1st one) and after I'd stripped and rectified all that, turned out had ghost note issues up the dusty end. I guess their Chinese QC isn't tops therefore what you end up with is a lottery.

You can also use the [b]attachments[/b] feature which appears below your reply box (once you open one) to post pics directly from your pc. The benefit is that you don't need to host you pics elsewhere on the net. The downside I suppose is that once posted on here they are not hot linkable.... no biggy really.

Cool story bro. Like really. Derek Smalls is a legend. [i]We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water[/i]

[/quote] I don't think it's until you start to realise that your hearing has been permanently affected does the finality of the situation sink in fully. It's like people who take up smoking without a thought that they are shortening their lives only to arrive at a point where those few extra years would come in handy. I have been exposed to loud music for decades and what I'm doing now is trying as best as I can to not lose any more of the frequencies that have gone awol. After all our ears are the primary tool of our trade.

[quote name='gary mac' post='1012310' date='Nov 4 2010, 05:14 PM']So do I start filing or get proper fender pups? Or a new pickguard? Thoroughly confused and fed up now....[/quote] It's very much down to yourself. But remember you might want to sell the parts on again one day. I think the main thing to do just now would be to get the bass up and running, if you like the pups then and want to keep them then obviously you then make the p/g fit the pups. Oh and an anodised p/g is every bit as easy to file as a plastic one.... should you go down that route.

I'm an ER-20s guys too. I not only wear them at gigs but when out on the town too (helps eliminate the ear-stabbing harshness of whatever poorly converted mp3 the technically challenged DJ is playing through the tired old mid-humpy PA). Can't get used to wearing them on stage though. Saw Mud Honey the other week. People took the mick at my earplugs (as usual) but did they get to hear the band at CD quality and go home without ringing ears? No. Nerd win.
