Bronco with a Precision Pick Up

Go for it, unless it will be an expensive project

 

Bronco's string spacing is narrower. String´s won't match pole pieces

 

If you get a P with blades, or the P-46, spacing won't be an issue.

 

The strings won't match the poles exactly.

But, you can take each coil and center it
on the two strings on each side. It worked
for me and it sounds really good with even
response on all 4 strings.

No joke,



I already had the pickup on hand. It was a
cheap upgrade that made a lot of difference.

Go for it,

Would vintage threaded saddles solve the issue? Interested in this for a future shorty project.

 

Here's a Bronco with a regular Fender threaded saddle bridge and a reworked scpb pickup.

If you have room for the split P pickup, your strings should line up as on a regular P Bass. The neck is wide enough for the wider string spacing, mine's set at 2.25".

 

Maybe something worth considering as a mod platform:

I briefly had one of these and it sounded surprisingly good.

 

I foresee a Squier Mustang in my modding future...

 

I put a Bartolini in mine and it works great due to the bar magnets. I spent a bit of time constructing my own pickguard. I know that I have pictures on TB somewhere. Do a search.

I agree about the neck. It has a really nice feel to it.

 

Start saving for a Mustang, you won't regret it.
