This article, Roger's setup measurement guide and that old magazine interview with Roger on setup are all you need really.
And all have links in Talkbass somewhere.
Maybe the Gary Willis book too occasionally.

In a dilemma between a new will lee metroline or a used nyc. What do y’all think ? The mid boost vs chambered body .....
P.S. - The will lee nyc would be the best option but not in my budget

I've only played one Will Lee bass and I liked it, but I'd go for the NYC. There are several ways you can modify frequencies, but you are stuck with the weight.
Curious as to why the P pickup recommendations are basically 'just do what you feel'? The ones I posted were from the website circa 2009-2011. Like I've posted before, they are an absolute necessity for getting the PJ 5 to work.
PJs:
P Pickup (Reverse or standard):
G String = 6/64"
A String = 8/64"
B String = 7/64"
Holding the strings down against the last fret of course.
I swear I'm not that slick to have made that up on my own.
I'm lucky I have a tiny shred of self control left - I almost had to find a new couch to sleep on after seeing this.

Here for ya brother. I had a 5 year chip, but then I slipped up. Got caught up on a Metro MV5 bender.
Stay strong, and if you will, throw a few bucks in the kitty for the coffee and the donuts.
I put a deposit on a new build last month
You gotta call somebody when you're thinking of using ... but I get it. Day by day man.
Carl is just a big ‘ol enabler! Watch out for that dude...
Obligatory gig pic from last weekend. This is the metro, I keep the WL NYC at home away from the drunk divorcees we seem to attract. God I love these basses. (GB Shuttle and Berg 112 to FOH)
I'm thinking the WL is the least of their desires...
... if you're interested, username @gun_show is still available.
My new puppy is becoming a fan of Sadowsky basses!
Speaking of weakness and lack of willpower...here is the 2018 Sadowsky TYO Verdine White, ever so slightly used. Strung with D’Addario Tapewounds (inspired by the cool black hardware) and set up low. I am not worthy!! Ooh, but she is silky and oh so funky. Cannot put her down. Pardon the crappy pics:
That's awesome, she's a beauty. Definitely gives me more confidence to pull the trigger on a TYO, just need to pay attention to who the seller is.
Although I may be in trouble soon, I'm going to my brother in laws wedding in Manhattan in 3 weeks and trying to squeeze time in to take the F train over to the shop. I may lose all willpower that day...
From experience, it’s well worth your time visiting the shop! You’ll be fine there...just watch out for that Carl guy when in the showroomAlthough I may be in trouble soon.....trying to squeeze time in to take the F train over to the shop. I may lose all willpower that day...
...he’s an enabler! (...oh, and don’t forget to take showroom wall pic’s
for the TB community!)
