Would this mean that a J pickup that measures 6.5K would be a good match, or are there othe criteria to consider?
This is assuming that the P pickup will remain stock.

Yes thats a good guide. A hotter than average output would help too. Humcancelling like a dimarzio model J would be even better.
I was considering the Dimarzio Area J. $59 but on backorder. I don't see where you can buy the model J as only a bridge. You have to buy the set.screaminglucy said:
There was a time in the mid-60's when the Jaguar/Jazzmaster body style was "the latest thing" - there are a lot of cheapo or off-brand 60's-era vintage guitars and basses out there with a Jag-style body. (E.g., the Murph bass.) I tend to like all of them!
Ok folks, after a false start, here's my take on a winning bag:

Or if your Jag SS is only 32" like mine you can get the $13. one, Biff. lol. That bag in your link is 47 1/2" but they call it a guitar bag?SBassman said:
McFly, there will be very little left over when this bass is in that bag. It's a good pick.
I still don't get how your bass fit and mine didn't. These basses are CNC'd. The difference in numbers we are citing should be in our own measurement errors, not the actual length of the bass. If anything, I think the bags might be differing by the half inch necessary to get it in there.
You gotta really be shoving that bass into that bag. It's too tight.
Plus, that bag really Did smell nasty. My wife got upset - it stunk up the living room.

Personally I prefer guitar shaped bags. That thing is for a Flying V. Heh. Is there a flying V Bass?
Lol. Not true about tightness. I wouldn't use it if there was zero tolerence. Also. The smell is pretty non existent now.SBassman said:
Well, I'm paying mine forward. MF refunded my money. I don't need to send it back since it will cost more than the value of the bag. So, I posted on FB looking for a local musician who needed a guitar gig bag, and it got taken quickly.
Why would they refund your money? It wasn't defective. Did you use the 'Smell Card? (lol. like that Seinfeld BO episode). If mine wouldn't have fitted I would've never even thought to ask them to. I did get a free MF HSC for Bass cuz the lid was a bit warped and they sent me another free if charge.SBassman said:

If they are single coils 2 pickups together are humcancelling. Some jazz pickups like dimarzios or duncan stacked pickups have 2 coils and are humcancelling by themselves.

Yes it fits. I put a dimarzio ultra jazz bridge pickup in mine.
A stacked or dual coil J matches the P pickup better usually because the output is more likely to be hotter (like the P pickup) and you get no hum when the J vol is up.
