Does anyone else not like Fender height adjustment?

[capnjim]

So I'm in the process of re-building a parts '75 Jazz bass.
I'm ready to install the PUP's, and #@$%&*!!! I don't have any of that crappy dense foam they use to adjust the height.
I love Fenders, but why has this not been improved on?
Any alternatives?
I want to get these in tonight, but can't really think of another way of doing it.
I do have to give credit to Leo..its a very effective, cheap, and easy system!
Just sucks when you don't have any of the stuff lying around!!!!

1/2" weather striping. Any hardware store has it.

Mousepad foam also works very well.

Yup. Get the heavy stuff, not the light stuff. Looks to be the exact stuff that Fender used back in the day.

That Leo was one clever dude!

I normally use four pieces of 1/2" weather stripping cut 1" in length. I stack one atop the other leaving me with two 1" pieces of foam. I then place each piece about 1/3 inch from the edge of the pickup. It may seem abit much but I find that I can control the p'up height much better. Once 1/2 foam compresses and gets a bit old...IT"S SHOT! LOL!
