I would not worry... Bolt it up, it will be apparent if it were acting as a shim. Even if it was a shim, maybe placed ad standard?, a good clean of the pocket mating surfaces, maybe counter sink the holes a little... A good set up may negate the need for any 'easy set up shim' fitted. Could if of been a QC sticker?

🤣

@Alexbass444 Have you ever done a bitsa or modder? The feeling is so good! Jazz PJ? Bitsa with Kent Armstrong's... P Pickup J Plate was less than a tenner from Ali Express on my Aria Pro wearing Entwistle Vintage PBX and JBX (Not Neo, wrong cover!)

Love my Thru-neck T-Bird Pro... Super Cool Looks, Meaty Mudbucker... ...with neck dive and a top body edge that will at least sore if not kill ya fore arm! You know how a Jazz won't stand up straight? or how the protruberance gets in the way on the sofa when sitting down, cos it's not a P?.. Well, its a bit like that, x10! As for the Schecter T or Frank Bello, Go HB50 Modder, Entwistle PJ Neo's? and have some fun! Honest Boring Answer Keep the J, look out for a cheap Thru or bolt-on neck T for the look.

Not the amp, tried another bass How about with a finger on a pup case? I'd try removing the Pickup Case Ground / Braid... Half reminds me of mains hum on a turntable to amp... with the extra ground wire v's turn table psu grounded (rather than 2 wire and obvs the amp earthed)? I'd share you findings with Gemini Fingers Crossed.

Tele Ring 67 x 16.5 Strat Ring 70 x 18.5 Strat Ring might go on with the the amount of room under the top plate to the windings... mmmm

Meat 'n Greet...

Mmm i thought the Tele and Strat surrounds were both small on the cut out - Roswell pup top is 73mm x 18mm

@kodiakblair Nice, Think Hard... It's very important... 🤣 Any chance of a better pic?

Found a nice Elctro Sockets Telecaster style Jack Socket Mounting with Multi Contact Pure Tone-a-like Socket - Looks Sleek 'n neat, Half fancy a Chrome Surround for 50's P Bass Modder to tidy the pickup route and 'Tie-In' the Hardware, Anyone? The Tele and Strat ones i can find dimensions for won't fit.

Shaky Ground... Thought it was Gonna be Green Door!

Sanding...and more sanding... thick sealer.

Cream covers would soften the blow, have a look without a plate, or black plate if running ya fancy bell plate like a cravat, not Fancy like the Socks'n Braces combo... Like a Grey Pearl... but as the Cravat

Whats it like 'No Plate' or Clear Plate? And Cream Covers Busy with the white covers, and not a fan of the bell plate. Might be better with black covers - not my Jazz Bag! I'm more plain and boring.
