Hopefully not too much blaspheme. The pickguard from the Bronco fits real well and looks good. The Jack Casady electronics are going in it this weekend. Going to hog out a little room for it tomorrow. The bass had already been modded a bunch before I got it. It will be a beast
A certain amount of blasphemy cannot be denied with your active Broncomaster... ;-)
we are curious to see it, when finished.
 
Ah, ok, passive Broncomaster ;-), I misunderstood "Jack Casady Electronics"? A Tone switch?
the jack casady has the pickup wired to a transformer then to the volume and tone pots. It's thunderous but can be a pain to fit in a solidbody, i'll be routing it out so fitting it underneath won't be as much of a beast like it was for the guy who did the bronco. Had it been routed and extra 1/2" for the switch and transformer on each side it will fit easy. The pickup rout is already almost big enough, that'll be easy. Then it's just dropping the stuff in and bolting it to the pickgaurd

Lo-Z pickup - sounds interesting. The schematic like this?

homey don't spell it like "root"
Preach brotherman.

I may propose a sticky on "rout" v. "route" but then I'd show my hand as a grumpy coot with too much time on his hands.

Thinking further on the subject (when I should be working), there's really never any need to use "route" on TB unless you're either describing how you got to the gig or telling us you used to deliver newspapers.

What's about pickguardplanet?
Fender & Squier Musicmaster Bass | Pickguard Planet
Do you have an original at hand as reference?


I just bought a couple of PGs from Chandler Music. (PickguardPlanet) They did a terrific job. They did not have a template so I sent them the originals.

I would have to do a tracing, I sent them a message on Monday and no response yet. Maybe they're busy but that didn't impress me that 3 days later they couldn't answer. Call me impatient, that's fine.

Had I known WD would stop selling them I would have bought extra's back when they carried them. Hindsight is 2020, but enough about 2020. :D

I hear ya on 2020! They responded to my email within a week, and when I mailed the PGs it was about 3 weeks before they were returned. It was worth the wait, though. Exactly what I was hoping for. The only other guards I've bought were from Pickguardian, and he is also somewhat slow to respond but does high-quality work.
