    What pickups are stock in the MIM Fender 60's Jazz Bass?

    I know this is an old thread... but: Do you get much hum with both volumes up all the way with the stock pups? Or are they pretty quiet? Thanks!

    Jazz bass pickup recommendation

    I have a 2001 MIM Jazz bass that still has the stock pups in it. I'm primarily a guitar player, but I'd still like to put a nice set of Alnico pups into this bass. Vintage voiced is preferred. Can someone recommend some good, cheap pups to put in her? How are those pups from Fender's Classic...

    Bass ports?

    I tend to lean on the side of Kustom just haphazardly adding the tubes. The cab is thinner at the top than at the bottom, slowly tapering as it goes up. The replacement speakers are Fender branded Celestions I found for $32 each on ebay. I have a feeling calculating any proper tube length...

    Bass ports?

    Thanks guys. I guess I'll put them back in. The speakers are not original as they were blown when I got them.

    Bass ports?

    I recently re-covered an old Kustom 3x15 cabinet and left out the aluminum bass ports. I don't really notice any tonal differences, but is there a reason to put them back in? The holes are still there, just not the long aluminum bezels. Thanks! From this: To this:

    P Bass bridge cover

    And here is a pic... The cover looks like it fits perfectly, unless you really look at it up close.

    P Bass bridge cover

    Okay, after some more measuring, and comparing to my MIM Jazz; The HM Squier bridge has a different string spacing (wider), and different hole pattern, so a standard bass bridge wouldn't have fit anyways. The pickup cover sits on the very front of the Squier bridge plate, so I decided to attach...

    P Bass bridge cover

    Alright, the cover does not fit. The stock bridge plate is wider than the Fender vintage (or MIM standard) plate. Taking some measurements to see if I have to order the new plate with saddles, or if these barrels will fit under (I like the brass barrels). I'll try to snap a few pics later on.

    P Bass bridge cover

    I don't see why they wouldn't, but that's why I'm asking.

    P Bass bridge cover

    Thanks everyone. I guess a new bridge plate is in order. Any reason this one won't work? No reason why the stock brass saddles shouldn't fit nicely, correct?

    P Bass bridge cover

    Just to be clear, Invalid Link Removed is the one I have. Actually, it's a parts bass, but the body and bridge is from that bass. No bridge cover came stock as no holes are in the body, or shown on the website.

    P Bass bridge cover

    Indeed it is. I just wasn't sure it would clear that thick back edge. Thanks!

    P Bass bridge cover

    Does anyone know if one of those chrome "ash tray" bridge covers will fit over the large-mass bridge on the Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision bass? Thanks.
