umcoo Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Umph - Indeed. When I'm a bit more comfortable in life, I may take another look at one of these. Tommo - Did you mean the pickup poles? Diameter is 6mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Don't mind at all. If you do make some, let me know and I'll buy a set off you! Neck is 5.88k and bridge is 6.02k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Cool. Any chance of posting a pic of the pickups with a ruler in shot, for measurements and such. And im not exactly a pro and pickup making, but i can see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Tom, Let me try it tonight and I'll stick them on here. Don't want to take the pups out of the body as they've just been set up for height, but I'll see what I can do. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Tom, Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully these may be of some help to you. If you need anything else, just ask. Eccuse the slightly shaky pics! That last pic tries to show how deep the pickup is till it hits the rectangle part of the pickup (the base, if you will). You can see on this thread (first page I think) how deep they actually go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cool pics man. One last question. What dya reckon the polepieces are, AlNiCo or neo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 No problem brother. Ermm...not sure. Any way to check? The pickup is from 1996...did they have neo back then? There's a big magnet stuck on the bottom of it too. According to Schecter HQ, it adds a bit more oomph (my words, not theirs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) This is cool! Good effort. I'm a big fan of Matt's playing / tone on Blue and Pinkerton. Edited September 28, 2011 by Minty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 looks great. Obviously not as "reliced" as the original but i don't think that's a bad thing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks all. She plays a treat, and looks cracking too. Si - hope you're still enjoying the Orange. I've been hankering for another one but I always consider getting another when I have zero money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabson Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Alright Chris, hope you and the bass are getting along!! Just stumbled upon this thread whilst doing some google optimisation for my site Here's a link to some photos I took on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksinstrumentsvcs/sets/72157626851192368/with/5704078028/ all the best mate, Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Jack, Hope you're good? Me and the bass are doing great thanks. Not a hint of wanting to sell it, which must be some kind of record for me! Hope I'm not gushing here, but just want to say that Jack provided a great service and the bass was assembled, setup and tinkered with to my liking for a very reasonable price and I think it was all done in less than a week. Any North West people needing work done should check him out. Cheers again Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
