LiamPodmore Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Are there any companies that makes 6 string MM and jazz pickups? The only one i've found so far is Delano and they haven't got any details on the MM pickup. Roughly 16/17mm spacing and hopefully not to expensive. Anyone know of anyone else who makes them?

LiamPodmore Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions Andy, though i'm looking more in the way of a Musicman or Sandberg style HS Configuration. Too bad i don't have a dead Bongo HS to rip stuff out of. Liam Edited November 7, 2011 by LiamPodmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 That doesn't look too bad actually, thanks mate. Just gotta wait for me to get a new bass before i can ship my Jazz off to Robbie at RIM basses for some chopping and drilling now.

soopercrip Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Quiet day at work mate (ominous) just had a rummage round the sites. Only six string j type I could see was on ebay from hong kong, but then I've bought from over there before as long as feedback has been good, without issues adn been satisfied.

skelf Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Aaron Armstrong will make custom pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Bartolini do customs IIRC. At a price, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah, thats the biggest problem with 6 string pickups, the price. Hopefully Delano have more info about the one they make by the time i need to buy one. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 What bass is it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1320708587' post='1430495'] What bass is it for? [/quote] I'm planning on having a bit of fun with my Squier Jazz Deluxe V and turning it into a 6 string HS bass. Not wanting to spend stupid amounts obviously, but i'm willing to put a bit into it (I need to get a new bridge and hipshot ultralites anyway) so its atleast of decent quality. The jazz pickups in it right now are blade style, so people have turned it into a 6 string and left the original pickups in, but i don't want to do that.
