I had a little time this afternoon, so I stripped the donor bass.
Everything has to be located from where the chrome pickup ring does the best job of covering the existing opening in the pick guard.
I drilled pilot holes & screwed the ring right into the pick guard. I think only one screw will have wood to screw into. It seems pretty secure. Just a little bit of light peeks along the back & at two points on the angles on the front. It is close!
I had to file a smalll amount of clearance for the radiuses on each end of the pickup. Also clearance for the three screws & springs that mount the pickup. Not bad!
Next will be opening up the cavity. It almost fits, just hanging up on the front & top screw lug. The pocket will have to be cut deeper by 1/8“ to 3/16” & drilled clearance for the three screws. Another day.......
