The key is to try out your ideas on something you're not concerned about destroying if you screw up. Note the project bass is a Squier Bronco.
Makes sense, but unfortunately, I don't have a bass that I would mind screwing up...maybe my J since it's already a frankenbass, but I also love it...
On the other hand, I have a set of Aerodyne pickups on the way because I thought I was gonna get fancy and swap out the pickups on the Schecter. Turns out I like those pickups more than I thought I did, so maybe a project bass should be in the works? Good opportunity to learn, at least...
Good luck with your project and please post a thread with pics!!

Thank you, I will!
Buys a bass, buys replacement pickups for it, decides not to replace the originals, buys a new bass for the pickups.
TB does strange things to people ..
about 6-7 years ago we get to gig for setup
I plug my bass into my Ashdown EVO900, plug that into my Warwick 4 x 10, turn it on....but no sound coming from speakers
spend 5 minutes trying to figure out what I've done wrong, change speaker lead, change lead from bass to amp and still no sound
drummer offers to go home and get his 200w rockit bass amp head (NZ Made)... then guitarist comes over to have a look..... we do a trace of the lead from my bass to the amp and find out I've plugged my bass into the 'headphone' socket.... Duh!
plugged bass into the 'input' socket and bingo - all working as it should
it happens to us all!

Meh. I was pretty strange (read ambivalent and indecisive) to begin with. TB just helps me express my neurosis.
I think that is common, I had the issue with a Fender case on which you had to slide the lock sideways to open it.
I had find how on internet though, not with a real person
