    Humbucker add on a jazz bass

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Im thinking about adding a humbucker to my jazz bass as a third pick up.
    Something Ive seen on 90s basses from Jeff Ament. Or something like Billy Sheehan would do with a gibson style mudbucker.

    My current jazz bass has a series/parallel switch already. How would I wire such a pickup (a Dimarzio model One for instance) on a jazz bass with series/parallel switch. Can it be done with three stacked (volume/tone) knobs? And perhaps 1 or 2 toggle switches (one for series/parallel j pickups + one for serie/parallel the humbucker PU). Infinite sounds....

    Would something like this work? And what PU's would you recommend?

     

    Something like this picture. Only with a third stacked knob for the humbucker and perhaps a serie/parallel toggle.

    replacing Fender reversed tuners

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    So I have these Fender reversed tuners on my p-bass.

    I'm thinking of replacing them for 'normal' tuners, there are many options.

    But before I do so I want to be sure that these new tuners will fit.

    But I can't find any specifications about the fender reversed tuners.

    Not even Fender has sizes mentioned (bushing, pegs,...):

    Can anyone point me in the right directions?

    Thanks!
