It’s finished and quiet and works 3 choices depending on your/my mood. i will say, Carbon paint is great to visually hide routs popping through the pickguard as opposed to shiny tape on to the next refurb!

I am a bad man.....

The start of his own relic

Its great when a plan comes together

Oops!!! i have both, my garage is becoming the set of blue peter

Well it’s done and set up, just a little shielding work to finish off, but with the tone rolled right off it’s useable. Tha schaller 3D Bridge is a thing of joy The bridge pick up on this is a monster and could get very gnarly, but it’s super punchy and clean. Current weakness is the neck pick up volume but I need to raise it if I want to get more volume out of it and would need longer screws, but I am really liking either both together or bridge alone. The action also goes super low

Or spend a fiver on graphite shielding paint that will also work

Schecter Baron H dUg pinnick signature bass is volume only as an example. I have a bass I made with a Creamery 58 pick up (the pick up is amazing), which was wired with a Tonestyler Bass Ten. Took the tonestyler our for another project, now it’s volume only-it’s still bloody brilliant, probably won’t bother with a tone knob at all now

Sounds like a shim is the way forward. StewMac have ready made shims on their websites that cost peanuts

Tonestyler does a 6 as well, for single or 2 pick up basses i have routed my jazz for Rickenbacker pick ups and a. Tonestyler tele jazz control plate

Mild progress - Pickguard Aged a dash, just need to measure bridge placement etc but nearing completion.....

Good chat you are right, fine pick ups and pre-amp

nice little review

Ripper is massively different to Geddy

Tell you what, you have picked a very niche question, which prolly won’t elicit many responses! A good thing would be to look at the tone profiles of each pick up, Seymour Duncan do that nicely on their website as it will tell you how toward they are in each band. The DG tone capsule as you know gives a low, low mid and upper mid push, less the treble (although there may be some crossover). I know you are playing stoner rock, but you may want to consider a more treble forward pick up just to keep that bite as you will be controlling that frequency less if that makes sense. I’ll throw something else in there with the Sandberg black label pick ups. Them and the DG tone capsule are in the Grand dark bass (although that is a JM configuration), by if you can play one in a store it may give you an idea of how things work as they are very balanced but very punchy pick ups. Haussel are inherently hot and mid forward from what I have played, I haven’t played the Haüssel P but I have extensively played the Jazz pick ups both small and large pole and they are very very nice, but mid forward and hot. The neck solo’d on a J pick up goes very close to P territory. Aggie’s tend to be veering towards a more vintage type sound and QPs are decent and punchy, fairly modern. Sorry I cannot give exact match for match but hope it helps a little

I reckon so - it’s now just a dummy knob. Everything has to be pretty much unsoldered and then re-done for your new project, and then leave it there as a dummy knob. Save the picture and or draw the schematic should you wish to change back at some point and good luck, sounds like it will be great
