Alright, so my bass is back for even more 'reconstruction'. So heres the low down ehehehe, the norstrand pickup was not placed in the so called 'sweet spot' like the Stingray so it didnt sound right. I mean it didnt sound bad but it was too close to the bridge so it was cutting off bass and had a much more mid-range type cut. Some people might like that but imo it didnt sound as good as it could be. So I measured up a Stingray copied the pickup placement. In doing so I had to ditch my EMG so now I am a little confused, should I just have one pickup or put in a different pickup along with the Nordstrand, I don't want to use EMGs because it didnt match very well with a passive pickup so anyone have any ideas to throw at me lol.

Now:
BTW, I did not fill the WHOLE thing with bondo lol, I used fiberglass and I forgot to take a picture of that. What you see is the bondo to even out the fiberglass and any holes and dings that were there.
Also, I am not going to be using a pickguard this time, idk I want to have a super sleek all black bass now, and i mean ALL black, strings, pickup, pickup pole pieces, hardware, fretboard, everything lol.
