If I was a 35" scale StingRay5 HH where would my pickups be located from the nut. SR5 HH are 34" scale and I don't Know this measurement to convert.

I have no idea what the spacing for a 34" is but here's what should be able to cover it if you enter the 34" spacing for the pickup. (34 spac'g) Unknown ------- = -------- 34 35 (EDIT: can't get the stupid equation to show up properly with all spacings on the screen) Basic maths here, input the proper 34" pickup spacing, divide this by 34" scale this equals your unknown 35" pickup spacing divided by 35" scale. Transpose this to find the unknown spacing: (34" spacing)X35" /34" = unknown I don't know if I'm clear, here's an example. Let's say the pickup spacing on a 34" is 25", so: 25X35/34= 25.74 that would be your answer for the 35" pickup spacing Greenman 10-20-2007, 07:14 PM Thanks Phil I dig the calculation. :) I guess I have to find the measurements of a stock SR5 HH. Anybody have one they can measure accurately. Thanks in advance if you do. :help: Phil Mailloux 10-20-2007, 07:29 PM You'd probably get an answer real quick if you asked the question in the basses forum :) Greenman 10-20-2007, 07:34 PM You'd probably get an answer real quick if you asked the question in the basses forum :) Cheers Phil. :bassist: |
