Modding my Pbass. I NEED HELP!

Quarter Pounder J?

 

^ that, but probably a Dimarzio model J even more.

 

Why not put in a J bridge pickup, then wire it with 1 volume control, 1 tone and a blend control. Then you can adjust the balance between the two pickups.

I'm thinking about the same with p that has a qurter pounder but i'm thinking about a SMB4A

 

just curious- have you tried this setup at all on another bass?
i ask because i did this and have seriously regretted the money and time spent.

most (not all) J players will tell you that the bridge pickup is the least important part of the J-bass "sound." I find that all this adds to my American P-bass is a nasally grunt that drives me crazy.. which is also what I find if I put too much emphasis on this pickup on my actual J-bass. My advice is.. if you haven't spent a good time playing a P/J, track one down and try it. I think most people have no idea how good a humbucker can sound on a P (especially at the neck but that's a different sound altogether )

 

I did the same mod. i ended up throwing a STK-J2 bridge on it. had it wired with a 3 way switch and v/t v/t stacks. the stk is a humbucker and compliments the 1/4lber nicely. the p still over powers the bridge j a bit , but if you work with the pickup height you can get it close. the 3way is awesome, b/c you can always go back to std. pbass tone.

 

Ever think of this config? John Campbell signature bass.
