    wiring suggestions for a P+J bass

    does anyone have suggestions for ways to wire up a p-bass, with a jazz pick up in the bridge, other than the standard vol/vol/tone? some of you must have experimented with different push/pull configurations. if there's already a thread on this I couldn't find it!

    When should I start worrying about not receiving my Bill Lawrence Wilde pickups?

    I'm actually planning a whole new build for these pickups too. Funny what a wait can bring about.

    In the interest of keeping everyone in the loop, I just got a tracking number for the p-bass pickups I ordered April 8. Only problem is they are shipping to an old address. I had tried contacting Becky twice by email and twice by phone (back in April), but I guess my attempts at contact were...

    I ordered some fender re-issue pickups from my work (music store) in the meantime. I was building a bass and it's all ready to go. I honestly can't wait to get some pickups in it so I can finally play it. I'll probably try and sell the fender pups on ebay or something if these bill lawrence pups...

    Just to give everyone some more info. I ordered a P46 on April 8. I sent two emails (regarding an incorrect shipping address), but didn't get a response, so I called last week and was told to call back this week. Tried calling today, but kept getting voicemail (which is full). Not complaining...
