Of course we're not. Will pickup covers affect the tone?
Depends on if they have the mutes installed, the neck cover makes your sound 20% more blingy, the bridge one, adds 15% bling, and 50% thump, if it has the mute, and just 15% bling, if not.

Wow, you named it what I was already going to name it! After... I've already got the Jag body made.
Oh. I thought you would just mod on of your current Jazzes to make this one.
When are you going to start the OctaJag? After I finish Funkist?
Touché.
Guys, this thread has turned into another Dark/Stickk/Jordan thread.. like always.
Okay.. Should I go with the P/MM or P/J set up?
8 strings are so awesome.
Yes they are. Fretlesses are also awesome. I will be one of the few in the world to have a microtonal 8-string bass! Can't wait! I'm going to eat dinner now... I'll be back.
P/MM. It'd be cooler if you somehow put the P in the bridge position and the MM in the neck position.
I knew you would say that. Coil tap sounds very challenging.
Um.. Im an aesthetics guys as much as a tone guy, and that wouldnt work. Sorry Stickk.
Naw, I wouldn't swap their positions, the P would be too thin at the bridge, I bet.
Its damn simple, if I was doing it myself, I could have it done in under 15mins, unless its a complete re-wire.
You could even make it a push/pull, to not take up space.
How about a trans green neck-through Jazz bass with Rickenbacker hi-gains and a Badass II bridge, no pickguard and a painted neck/headstock? Or is that asking a bit too much and/or heresy?
But Dark, I have never even opened my Geddy up. As I said, Im a totally blank canvas. Im smart at a lot of things, but electronics isnt one of them.
And remember, Im not you.
Sartori, PM him. He wont see your post in the middle of ours.

My point was, that if I can do it, anyone can, all I learned about bass electronics was from opening them up, and rewiring them, and info on here.
I had a bass that the electronics were screwed, no one would touch it, I had to figure it out, lol.
When the time comes, we can draw up a diagram, and walk you through it, wouldn't be long getting answers on the pickup section either.
I'll warn you now, if I have to draw diagrams, they'll be MS Paint.......
When I said aesthetics count, I meant on the outside of the bass.
