The sweet spot is where the Music Man sweet spot is. Both my Basses have the MM pickup in that position. I wish I had done a one pickup on my Bart quilt G5.

Here's the problem with so called "sweet spots", what's the scale length and the # of frets, that you're using? (although it's a '54 style, I won't assume it's 34" with a 20 or 21 frets)

If it's a Warmoth, it will be 34" (unless he's building a Gecko).

it's Warmoth so it's 34" standard Fender type specs with a extra 21st fret extension . 20 fret is also available as well as a 24th fret extension .
