PacificPete Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Greetings........I've recently finished a re-and-re on my pacifica112(h-s-s), 1V, 1T. I took my time with shielding, wiring, and was careful not to scratch the finish. Does anyone have a suggestion for making the humbucker more solid in its bay? I'm having trouble keeping it parallel to the strings, as there is 1 adjustment screw per side(tub route style). I'm using springs, not surgical tubing. Thank-you in advance for any suggestions.

thedoctor Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 If you aren't using a trim ring to mount it, you might try what I use to body-mount humbuckers. Cut a piece of thin (1/2") foam like they ship new pickups in to fit behind the pickup and pull the PUP down to compress it. With only 2 screws, you may have to screw with the placement of the foam a bit but it has worked well for me. If you are using a trim ring, I would suggest stuffing some of the same around the ends (not the sides) of the PUP between the trim ring and the mount flange of the PUP. I know I am always pushing the front edge of the EMGs on my bass down when it annoys me cause THEY tilt some just to tick me off. Talk about a PUP with attitude!

PacificPete Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks for the tip doc, I'll give that a go. Shouldn't have any trouble finding some dense foam material around here. I had to use a couple of thin pieces, with peel and stick on the back, to insulate between my superswitch and the foil lined control cavity. Space is definitely at a premium in there, haha. Thanks again. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
