MarshallBTB Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Want to add a bridge j pickup to my Nate Mendel P Bass, anyone near me / any recommendations ? I'm in Leigh on sea, Essex. Would rather not post the bass or anything so the nearer the better. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not sure how far Stevenage in Herts is from you, prob an hours drive or so, but Terry Chapman, TJC Guitars is pretty good. Our very own Gary Mac does set-ups etc, not sure if he does routing for pickups but may be worth a try, he`s in Hoddesden, Herts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Somebody's bound to recommend Bernie Goodfellow in Brighton. Another vote for Terry Chapman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Before cutting holes in your Nate, would it be worth selling it as is and looking for a PJ? If you mod' it, it may well reduce the re-sale value (modification usually does). The Mexican Fender PJs can be picked up quite reasonably second hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 FWIW I'm with @Dan Dare on this. Find another PJ. At least you should get a PJ and find out if this is really what you find hits all the buttons. Also, check if the p pup on your current bass is in the same position as tbe neck pup on a pj. I suspect that on a pj its closer to the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that on a pj its closer to the neck. Never thought of that. I've just compared my Mex PJ with my Bitsa (which uses a Squier body, so I assume it uses the same spacing as a full fat Fender) and the p pickup is in the same place on both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
