Am I right in saying that's 60s pickup spacing?

Really useful info - I'm very tempted by a couple of MIJ Jazzes on eBay. My resistance is weakening!

Managed to snaffle a used Bassman 100T after selling my first one due to size and weight. Now I have a car again, I thought I'd indulge in the valves once more!

What a glorious bit of kit it is. It really sings and the drive is very versatile. Even on 1/4 power, it pushes out decent volume; I can't wait to try it at the next rehearsal. Quite a different beast to the GK in overall character and the overdrive, both with their benefits. 

The EQ, with its push/pull bass and treble pots, is really useful and you can get that scooped sound pretty easily. 

Now the question is "can I justify keeping the GK?" Might have to grab another cab and try both at the same time.....

I find mine has a slightly more twangy feel than other P basses. It's one I will never sell as the neck on it is superb.

I've sent you a message.

Sold a bridge to Bill; nice and easy, good comms and a happy customer! Cheers chap

Don't suppose you have any sound clips? I'm intrigued by the changeover of pickups.

 Good stuff. Glad these guys are getting some attention, 'tis rather lovely what they are putting out. 

These are superb.  Only sold mine due to not having a car and it being a pain to move.  If I was local I'd be having this, lovely!

They're stuck on, not screwed. I bought an ex-demo model from Polar UK so I don't know if they were packaged separately or come affixed. Might be worth asking the guys at Polar as they are the main GK distributor in the UK.

These are what I have on the bottom of my Fusion S, which I expect would be the same as the Legacy.

I'd be interested in this. GuitarGuitar, GAK, Anderton's, etc all have the nut width as 38mm, but the Fender website says wider at 41.3mm. I'm sure Fender know best, but it'd be good to have a definitive answer (why on Earth the retailers are quoting narrower is beyond me; lazy cut and paste?)

I agree, quite frustrating! Photos just uploaded.

I can measure my Vintera if that helps...

I sold the SM that accompanied my BB2 a while back. How foolish! Rarely see them come up for sale which is probably testament to how useful they are, especially when combined with a larger cab.

If you struggle to find a used JMJ, I can recommend the Vintera model - similar hardware and a slightly less beefy neck.

Yes, all pots and cabling

Yes, really easy. The connections are simply 'slot in'.  One thing to bear in mind is making sure the body routing is wide enough to accept the connectors (around 4mm I think) else you have to either widen the rout or cut off and re-wire the connectors once threaded through from pickup gap to the control cavity.

I'm hoping we might get some of this in the planned video with drive/distortion examples. You'd expect them to sound as painfully fizzy with the HF driver on full as they would through the DI. I'm interested to see what the BB2 with the HF driver partially on has to offer beyond what the SC can already do.

Correct, in my experience. With my overdrive settings it does indeed sound fizzy via DI and likewise through the cab with HF driver fully engaged. I therefore use mine with it up set to around 25% ; it's a good blend of cab voicing with just enough high-end definition. 

Good choice! Got my identical bass strung with flats and fretboard dyed a bit darker.

I found the truss rod needed tightening to get the action where I wanted it (now at 1.5mm) but if you've bought used, I imagine the previous owner has sorted it.

Also consider 'Lugs' - it's a chap in Northern Ireland who does a range of options for drivers, colours etc and aren't as pricey as 'big name' brands.

Anyone here have experience with the JB Fullerton Standard at all?

Thanks folks, good steer. I actually used to have a SM and foolishly sold it!  Will keep an eye out....

I forgot I was following this thread, and it's now reignited my desire to get a SC or SM to add to my BB2! 

Hi all,

I'm moving on my jazz bass that these were fitted to.  All now sold apart from the bridge.-

SOLD -- Babicz FCH bridge.

SOLD ----- £70 - Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Jazz pickups. 
SOLD ----- Hipshot BT-2 D-Tuner
SOLD ----- Kiogon Jazz loom for series / parallel switching.
SOLD ----- Schaller BMF tuners.

Thanks for looking,

Al

I have the ID14. I'm no expert but I think it's rather good.  Once setup the interface is blissfully easy to use. It sounds good and seems sturdily built. Note that if you want to use the Line In from an MP3 player iPad etc you'll need to go to the DI or use a mic preamp to get the appropriate signal level. I don't know if this is common to all devices or just the Audient.
