Neck and Bridge Pickups are the same size, but with slightly different pole spacing, ave 18mm. Length 100mm Width 34mm Pickups can work passive, and with the Vol, Blend and Tap Switch. - See YouTube Clip 2 Band EQ may be faulty, but will include anyway with Batt Box, Snap, Scews etc. But no control knobs, Solid Shaft Pots. Any Good?

Not a huge fan of fancy... Flame done to death on LP's, Birds Eye and Buck just look messy... but, loves a bit of 3D Quilted... -

Body is with @Andyjr1515to do his magic... Mark at Spartan Music did me a great deal on an Artec QTP Passive 5 Position Tone Switch instead of a standard tone pot... Adam Davis of Maida Vale Pickups, on Reverb, has kindly wound me a Low Rider with some blemished Alnico IV poles he had knocking about to support my build, so i'll look forward to try that by way of something different... Been on to Ben at Vanson Guitars on ebay for a pair of their FULL dome knobs that i like and have on my other Bitsas... And Amy and Colin at Advantage Music for some Adagio Flats...

Depending on budget, have you thought to try GHS Ground or the Rotosound Solo Bass Pressure Wound 40-100 or 45-105. Shame, these were on Special offer with PMT music a month back... https://www.rotosound.com/product-category/bass-guitar-strings/solo-bass/ I have the Roto Solo Bass 45-105 back on my Ibanez SR600... Bass strings are a bit pricy just to try though... Back on special at £22 https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/rotosound-solo-bass55-45-105?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJwCQZ2n-tivyhvbPn2DNL1WElVkeY_klAK_b9a9s_4uCodbN7oWhAaAvXsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds EDIT: Sorry, just re-read and you don't want Half Rounds... -

Series/parallel PBASS tone question
PaulThePlug replied to Sweeneythebass's topic in Theory and Technique
Is the P Bass Pickup (halfs) not connected in series to start with but Just wound in opposite directions? Maida Vale Pickups via Reverb make a 4 Wire P Alnico IV ... with 4 wires for Series / Parrallel Switch wiring. https://reverb.com/uk/item/44712241-maida-vale-b-1p-low-rider-alnico-4-p-bass-pickup?
