Pickups strength

I think that you’re better off installing the pickups instead of the electric razors into the bass. The last time I installed an electric razor into a bass... actually I’m pretty sure I’ve never don’t that.

 

Youre probably fine. I'd say, install the pickups and if they sound good, they sound good. Shave and then go play something.

 

Turn the razors on, hold a paper clip close to them, and see if it’s magnetically attracted. If it is, then file a patent for a new type of active bass guitar pickup.

 

I suggest you put the razors in the bridge position, that’ll help you cut thru the mix

If you want to test before you install them, just suspend them upside down over the strings on another bass and hook them up to a cable (scotch tape would probably work just fine, or alligator leads even better). This should give you a sense of how they work.

 

As long as they're not actually touching any ferrous material theyre fine. But maybe move them from the razor drawer to the socks drawer.

I would, if possible, fashion a pyramid out of the pickups and store the razor in said pyramid. Keep the bugger good and sharp.
