Hi Basspraiser,
Thank you for your comment. I do indeed like the Joe, but I also like the p bodies, and I think I'll go and take a look at the Joe pj 5, even though it's a few hours away from my home.
You encouraged me to do it. Thank you very much.View attachment 7287322

Good luck.
Let us know how you like it. I'm sure you will.

Oh my!

Major congratulations. That is going to be a killer bass.

Interesting... curious if the front pickup is just routed for a p, or is it an aftermarket mod?

The bass was built that way at the factory, no additions.

No exciting news or pictures, but just logging that I'm about 5 weeks ish from my new US Custom build hopefully arriving .

Better post pics once it's done… You can't tease us with the specs and not share the pics. The specs look pretty good.

Try and stop me, it will be the counterpart to my US 44-PJ.

I feel like I've been steppin' out on my 55-60 as DJ has found its way into the lead in the lineup.

Still needs some tort though…

 

[MaxSpinrun]

Nice! Haven't seen you for a while. The DJ looks good.

 

[JB Player]

Looking good Javman, nice DJ!

Looking good Javman, nice DJ!

Thank you!

Hi Guys !

Would like your insights on a pickup swap. I currently have the stocks barts on a 55-94.
Thinking of the Delanos JMVC 5 fe with MC 5 or the B axis J and exclusive MM as replacements.

What would you go with ? Heard a lot of good stuff about the Delanos!

Thanks for sharing !

Cannot speak for the Delano J, but I am running the Quad Coil Delano MC5 FE M2 in my Sterling Ray35. Excellent pickup particularly with a coil tap switch. Could see it being perfect with a 3 way single/parallel/single coil tap in an MM/J setup like the 55-94.

Thanks for the insight !
Did you mean single rear coil / parallel / single front coil ?
I would tend to go single parallel series though!

Yeah that is what I meant. I am not a fan of series on the MM in MM/J setups. Usually results in the MM overpowering the J IMO. There is admittedly less sonic range in single/parallel/single, but the sound difference in the two single modes is there without the pickup output difference.
