That's the boat I'm in with a Jag P/J project I'm doing (my first refin, so there was a learning curve). I made some rookie mistakes so I had to come to terms with my skill level and non-pro tools. Yours looks great, BTW

Thanks for these links!! I had no idea about these pickups - they're amazing and it seems SimS did everything it could to make it easy to install these.
amazing! I love it! Love me a jag/jazzmaster/meteora kinda shape. Did you make the body yourself?
This is amazing, OP! Congratulations!
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat... And I'm not a 5 stringer. 5s aren't my cup of tea - I must confess - but I really loved your creation.

well, your pace and patience sure paid off! that's a win/win/win ax if i ever saw one --- everything about that ax is super cool --- congratulations on your new instrument!
Thanks! I did. I made the body, pickguard, and good control plates. I also did all the finish work and assembly. I don’t yet have the confidence to build the neck from scratch - perhaps the next one!
They were very easy to install. If you opt not to use the LED indicators they are totally passive and it’s just the hot and ground out from the switch to worry about. Dead simple.
I bet your bass is freaking amazing with its looks and all of those tone options. So glad you introduced me to these pickups. You did fantastic work!
Looks good BUT how does it really play ??? once you get over the Buzz lol
Very cool PU's !! I like the design idea and listening to the demo on the website there is a very definate tone variation ! love the slap tone !

It plays pretty darn good so far! Gotta give credit to Warmoth for doing the heavy lifting on that part of it I suppose! Lol
Great looking Jag! I really like the Jazzmaster/Jaguar style guitars. You say far from flawless, but I only see one flaw: the upper toggle is silver, not gold!
Great job!
Great job!
Love Jag basses, love this, well done, 5 stars! May it play and sound as good as it looks!
