Sheehanize a P/J ??

[hieronymous]

I've got an early-'70s Tele bass that the previous owner added a P-pickup to:


(sorry for the bad pic)

Right now, the bass is wired mono. The humbucker is MUCH higher output than the P-pickup, but when you have both pups on 10, the volume is more like the P-pup, and the sound is round and deep, kind of like a Jazz Bass. I still think about having it rewired in stereo, with separate outputs for each pickup - I'm pretty sure that's how Billy Sheehan's was wired as well. That way you can get the booming lows from the humbucker through one amp and the mids and highs from the others. Just something to think about...

There was a new set neck Sheehan Yamaha at the Messe. I quite like it.
