Except that it's too small for the cavity and is only loosely attached to the pickguard! It's already gone...

Ooh, I'll go look. I'm not a luthier, just a woodworker. Thanks!

January 23rd of 1971! The body cavity has several stamped names inside, I imagine they're for the woodworker, finisher etc. Curtis and I have been emailing back and forth, great guy and really helpful. His product is great and I can't wait to get this fat humbucker wired up!

It's already apart, I have all the new bits for it and will get on it this week.:)

PS, I have the skills and tools to do it correctly. The bass deserves it...

It sounds like crap!

This is a '71 as shown on the neck. BUT.... The doofus who added the P bass pickup did a pretty crappy job. I bought a router template to make it fit better, but it's lined up completely wrong! So I'll need to fill the cavity and paint it over. I wanted to keep it Natural, but it'll now be...

That is awesome Matt, THANK YOU!!!

And how is that wired up? I have a Stewmac control kit coming.

The pickguard has been modified unfortunately, but I have a new replacement on the way. I want to keep it simple, so your suggestion might be best. Thanks!

So I have a 1971 Telecaster bass with a guitar humbucker at the neck and a DiMarzio P bass pickup closer to the bridge. I'm replacing the humbucker with a Curtis Novak one and thought I'd just use the Jazz control layout of volume/volume/master tone, but now I'm wondering if there might a better...
