projectgongshow Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hey its the stupid retarded sander down the paint guy. I am thinking of added pickups on my neckthru bass it has two jazz pickups routed for it, like the factory, I waht to added a humbucker, Should i put the humbucker where the tail jazz was and route that out and could I route for the jazz in front of the jazz existing hole really close to the neck? Get what I am saying guyz? It would be like 1/4 to the fret board? Bad idea?? Would it weaken the body and neck? where should i put it leave it out? dont like pickups where i spank my bass, gets in the way of my fingees My Webpage Check out the page and download the tunes from my old band tell me what you think? Laterz Thanks for the replies i take critijism well so be harsh kiddies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 If I understand what youre saying, you are wondering whether to rout for the humbucker centered on the neck J pickup, or to rout a NEW hole, next to the J pickup's hole, nearer to the neck. Right? Well, assuming you don't want a big gaping hole, rout right smack dab over the neck J hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectgongshow Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 no I was wondering if I should add a j pickup with a new holes closer to the neck and have two near the neck. then put a humbucker where the bridge pickup is. Wondering if it would make the body weak. sound like crap. talking bout go like this, Bridge--soapbar-----------jazz--jazz--N----E----C----K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
