BassAdder60 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Just replaced my stock PBass pickup from my Player series Fitted the Fender Original PBass pup ( not the CS62 ) and all went well but a question ?? How critical is the pickup sideways lean ? Ie viewed from the playing angle, mine ( due to pickguard ) is leaning slightly back towards the bridge. This isn’t the string to pole angle you see when viewed from bridge to headstock ( I’ve set that correctly to ear and approx 3mm pole piece to string underside when fretted last fret ) The angle that may or may not be that crucial is the “ parallel to body” when looking at pickup from playing view What’s your thoughts ?? By the way the pickup is nice and a bit clearer than the player stock with better mids and less boomy sounding Edited May 15, 2023 by BassAdder60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Not that critical, but can make teeth itch... Often as the screws have gone in at an angle, or how the foam is beneath the pup, or has a wire under one side. I go foam on pickup and make sure wires are pushed down the sides...

BassAdder60 Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 I think in my case it’s the pickguard pushing it over slightly I’ve filed a 1mm / 2mm off the leading edge and it fits over the pickup better without nudging it over slightly Now they look parallel to the bass body 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
