When the Levee Breaks - Led Zep ^ love this...

^ I read somewhere that Jimmy Page had some newfangled self-tuning machine-head type thingy... Maybe he had it on Uke Tuning... like the little button on the clip on tuner! Such a shame...

Pickups arrived - really deep... Maybe just the thinnest of sponge layer, or just electrical tape on the pickup bottom and bore a small hole to allow for the wires out on a flush fitting, pup. Mockups with elastic strings...

Lee taunted me with some bargain Jazz Maida Vale Stacked Jazz Pups... Super-Simple... and packaged to perfection!

Dang! Those Dimarzios look cool... The P in the PJ Set has the allen head screws, rather than the plain 'Billy' model... not cheap mind...

Covers arrived...

I've got an Artec QTP in my two SR Modders... £13 http://www.artecsound.com/pickups/electronics/qdd https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403241742777

Tony is gonna post me some foam... 🤘

Hope you added a set of those cheap HB Flats @ £13 ... if not drop em a line and say you forgot to add... and see if you can blag free postage ! https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hqs_bass_45_100_flatwound.htm?

Lovely... Simple with a Proper type bridge than than the business and trapeze of the HB-60... Winner!

Having a Break from the modding... 🤣

UNC #4-40 x 1/4" Couple of quid from spaldings, recommend 'Dog Point' if listed Allen key likely 1/64...

Pics please... Spalding's Fasteners of the 'bay... and a dab of thread-lock.

Start with a look on FB market place and Gumtree see if somethings local...

https://reverb.com/item/73297157-maydevale-b-1p5-low-rider-alnico-4-p-bass-pickup-5-string Give him a shout about winding a Jazz Bridge for a 5 Stringer...

Found some gloss black left in a rattle can, along with a squirt of clear lacquer... Voids Sorted... I like the idea of the gap

How about £250...

Then they are likely to want it returned. If you didn't buy / pay for a damaged one, them you shouldn't put up with it... it will get to you and rob you of your enjoyment. If on the other hand would of purchased the ding model for £100 discount - no sure of normal cost - then it could be 'Happy Days'...

^ I could of kept the original pups 'n pre... but want something different with a bit of a pro-mod look. Something like this... but with a bit more border to cover the old route...

If i post more pics of the 'Ghastly Void' hopefully it will make one of them clever types with a 3D printer's teeth itch... 'lil black bezel - central cut out for std jazz N and B sizes - attached with double sided tape so no screw holes and easy-alignment... might even be a print file with the inside pup shape done, just change the outside dims... If ya catch my drift...

Knobs... try Vanson nice feel and quality. I like there Full Dome knobs(!) and have em on lots of bitsas and modders... push on though. High Output Pup's... Entwistle JBXN... https://entwistlepickups.com/ Modification Suggestion... How much room under the scratch plate?... Go Jazz PJ!

Candy Apple Sunshine...

The pickups are 4 wire 'Stacked Coils' so you can series/parallel switch them, in a Jazz cover. I'll prolly just go Series. So dunno if that still counts as a 'Single Coil' - similar idea to a Split P I think - and go A250k as they are not a big meaty pair of std single coils type 'Humbucker' and go A500k Was gonna go A250 to stop em being to bright? Edit: @Hellzero A500k and MN500k on order... Also Davii of MV Pups (FB MP and Reverb) confirmed, suggests no lower than 500k...
