Re-aligning pickups w/the strings

#2
I can guarantee that moving the pups is alot more difficult than moving the strings. Since you are going to replace the bridge on this bass anyway why don't you go with a Schaller (with adjustable string spacing), mount it correctly and see if it's adjustment doesn't help you with this problem. While your at it, the nut could also be remeasured and replaced to help with the alignment.

okay.... here is what i think i will do..
Buy the bridge (Gotoh 206 w/adj. spacing)
then adjust the strings to the best of my ability and then if its still screwy move the pickups....

i dont think i will have enough money to have a new nut installed because i will probably be loosing my job here very soon... soo... im gettin in as much stuff as i possibly can....

forgot to ask. how would you go about moving the pickups? just try to center them between the strings as best as possible?
