Im thinking of adding a second pickup to my telecaster bass. I hear a demo of the squier telecaster special with the J pickup at the bridge. Strung with roundwounds, I was not digging the sound with both the mudbucker at the neck and the J pickup at the bridge. Maybe because of the stock strings.
Anyway, I want to add a pickup in the middle to get some punch to the bass, more definition. I was thinking a single coil 51 P pickup or split coil (to compete with the mudbucker). Anyone have any experience with this?
I love my sound, I just wanted more versatility from my bass. I also was wondering if my copy should even be routed. I plan on keeping it forever but who knows maybe in the future? Should I attempt to make it a string through body like the original? Would there be a difference in sustain, or tone?
Notice the String through Bridge design.
The Electronic seem all original with the original Seth Lover plus 1 Meg pots. Does anyone here know the original cap value?
