Fender Basses / Sheehanize a P/J ??
« on: January 28, 2008, 04:57:18 PM »
Has anyone installed a LARGE humbucker at the neck in a P/J?
In the 70's BEFORE Billy Sheehan got popular and no one knew of this mod, I had a P that was butchered with a humbucker at the neck and a Rickenbacker pickup at the bridge.
Now I've got an inexpensive P/J and a brand new OLD-STYLE humbucker to work with. Initial plans are to wire it with three volume controls running through a master tone and maybe having a bypass switch for the tone(I've got one bass with 3 pickups and NO tone control that sounds AMAZING).
Comments?
Pictures?
How did you do it if you did?
Here's Billy's oldest one:
PS: I don't plan on digging canyons in my fretboard.
