help me with my warmoth project

[fruit&herb man]

I'm going to start a warmoth project this summer. Its going to be a crossbreed between P bass and thunderbird. P body and neck in mahogany and Lindy Fralin bassbuckers.

can anybody help me with placement for the two pickups. I want them to placed just like in thunderbirds. Or could i just tell them to rout the cavities where j-bass pickups normaly are placed?

Warmoth makes a T-Bird style body so maybe they know where to route for the pickups? I'd ask them first.

That P-bass is going to weigh a ton and a half.

Get a real thunderbird and measure between the bridge plate and the bridge pickup. The measure from that to the next one. Voila, you have your measurements.

Its kind of hard for me to get the hold of a real Tbird where I live. Thought someone could help me here

The last I checked, Warmoth did not make mahogany necks. USACG does, however, and apart from being the bass parts builder favored by a lot of folks, their necks are reinforced with graphite - rather than steel bars. I believe that will save some weight. They also offer considerably more options as to neck widths, radius and other specs than Warmoth. http://www.usacustomguitars.com/
