Pickup Placement

[MKGBass]

Does anybody know how to determine the proper spot to put your pickups in relation to the scale of the instrument.

For maximum harmonic output or however you're supposed to word it.

I am specifically interested in this knowledge for bass guitar (jazz style pickups).

Thanks,

Mitch

You can put them anywhere on the instrument you like. Talk about putting them on harmonic nodes is nonsense, because as soon as you fret a note, the harmonics move.

Put them where they aren't in the way, and so they look good with the design, and not too close to each other, or too close to the bridge.
