My PJ jazz body is undersize and the bridge route is only neck sized. Do I need to be aware/concerned about using a neck pickup in the bridge spot, in terms of n/s, phase or anything, with a stock MIM P in the neck position. I was thinking I'd upgrade the P at some point, but am shopping for a...

Sounds great. I became fascinated by Lee Sklar upon hearing Jackson Browne's first LP in winter of '72. I have been a pro guitarist since '63, but loved his playing and tone.... still do. I'm plotting hot stacks in my Telecaster a la' Brent Mason.

Thanks for the input. I am only considering the Geezer P in the neck position and reversed in addition. I'm not thinking of doing the EMG Geezer PJ set.

Derek I've had the neck pocket routed, but was thinking I'd put a humbucking J in the bridge. I'll only use this bass in my studio near my PC. So the less noise the better..... Since the body is undersize and the bridge pickup route is "neck" sized, I am thinking I'll get a humbucker neck...

Thanks Basadam. When I started imagining how that would "work", I decided I could just clip the ends and use CTS pots, like I was planning before I considered the Geezer P.

I'm modding this undersized J vintage blonde bass. I have routed the neck P pickup for a reversed/Lee Sklar set up. I'm converting from a Fender Blacktop J with 2 P pickups, swapping all parts to this body. Well the bridge pickup is routed for a neck sized J and with the body being a "dinky"...

Thanks Bruce. I just put a T square on it and can see that is the case. I think I'm going to get the pocket routed and then decide the remaining details. I can't imagine the pickguard that was on it. the top/upper screw hole is going to require me to carefully layout the template for the new...

I bought this unloaded white blonde jazz body, knowing the neck pocket was 2+1/4" NOT 2+1/2" like my 2014 Fender Blacktop jazz (the double P pickup model). I love the finish/look, but as I started measuring and comparing mine with this new body (I planned to swap all the parts save for the...

Though my Blacktop Jazz is heavy and I would love to replace the body with a lighter white blonde ash version with reversed P's and strings through.... the tortoise shell pg helps me be patient. LOL I'm especially pleased with it now that I've restrung it with GHS Balanced Nickels. I've been...
