[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Morning![/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Knee jerk decision to create a [color=#000000]Fender Standard Jazz Bass MN BSB inspired copy but not for the 600 smackaroons. [/color][/font][/size][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This is a more inspired creation and a project to do on these cold and lonely nights and I really dig the colours, so that's what I am going off over all. [/font][/color] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Currently a body has been sourced for £37! - This looks highly like a Squire body with the colour and grain finish, however the wood looks a better cut than most and the inlays for pickups etc looking smarter. [/color][color=#000000]A Pair of [b]Fender 2008 Mexican Jazz Pickups [/b][/color][/font][/size][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]are on there way also, These had all the necessary[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] cabling and foam support already on so for £25 that's not to bad. [/font][/color][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]For the body I will be measuring the neck set lay, granted I am on the hunt for a [/font][u][b]Maple neck for around £70[/b][/u][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]. The body will be copper taped inside also once this arrives. [/font] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Bridge I have decided to head for is a [color=#333333][b]Gotoh (Japan) 203 Bass Bridge Chrome 203B- for around £25 also.[/b][/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Now the biggest problem is sourcing pots, I know I need CTS pots and from memory 250k would be the ideal and "historical" ones to go for . however finding a made up set -or even sourcing them properly to match is what looks like a wee small headscratching session as for £28 for just them alone doesnt in my eyes make sense and my Father who has worked with electronics for over 40 years would punch me if he found out.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1484140170' post='3212951'] Just noticed the bass here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Elwood_4p_Multiscale_white.html"]http://www.bassdirec...cale_white.html[/url] Referred to in another thread. Those Delano Pickups look like they might be in the right ballpark size and shape-wise. Don't suppose they are that cheap though! [/quote] Cheers buddy

Hi guys, forgot to check back to the forum. These are Customs Yamaha ones to fit, I swear I seen somebody somewhere on the tin'net had replaced them with two single screw ones as whats installed. Ive had a small look around for the bridge to be rewound to give higher quality sound even though its matched to the neck pickup (that is more like a P bass sound) I would like some more ooomph from the bridge overall. Sadly I am not a fan of Fender Jazz's unless its a full blown USA model, and I've had this Yammy for 10 years and this baby aint going!

Morning All, I've been having a bit of a headache trying to find pickups that would fit the 2 single screw setup for my Yammy ( see photo ) can anyone help on the matter? Ideally after a Bridge Passive.
