Washburn 6 string J pups in a Fender 5 String?

Well...i picked up a squier 5er with 19mm spacing and i hate the electronics. Im sorta low on cash...but have these jazz pups and preamp lying around from a washburn 6er with 17mm spacing i took apart.

Im not familiar with the coiled pole sectioning of a jazz pup...think this would be a decent work around for the time being? assuming they measure up and all.

If the washburn pickups are made with bar magnets and not a single blade magnet, you will likely have some inconsistencies in output.

Give the bass a good set of strings, set it up properly, and install the preamp. I find that a preamp will make a bigger difference than a preamp alone.

Oh...so just wire in the preamp from the washburn into the existing pups in the Squier P....

...duh. Great idea. Thanks!

now, where to put that other hole in the guard. Hmmm....
