I'm talking about early 50's style p-bass single coils, anybody have a bass with two of these pickups?

I can't remember who it was...........

You could easily wireem volume/volume instead of volume/tone
but I'm quite sure it must be a cool design and a smart option
Only... Leo Fender thought about something like that in 1960, when, right after Precision ugradin', was thinkin' about hummin'
single pickups and came to the soon to become Jazz prototype
Cheers,

|  | Registered User | | | | This nash is pretty cool! Remember the bridge p.u. would need to be wider like on a jazz though.

| | Registered User | | | | I had that idea after i bought a cool 51 style bass bodyhere,but the cost having a wider bridge p.u.made would robably push me to a jazz bridge p.u.

| | Registered User | | | | | That spacing would be one way to go.I'd love to try that out!The spacing pole to pole looks around 2"-2-1/4" maybe that's the easy solution i was looking for. |

I'm not looking to buy one so much as looking for a creative build with some parts that I have on hand. This gives me some food for thought.
