Bass Pickup Routing Options

Standard Precision (P Bass®)

(3.678" Neck)

Single PBass pickups are generally used in the neck position. It can be combined with other pickups in the bridge position (often a Jazz pickup) for more tonal options.

Fits most PBass pickups including Seymour Duncan and Lindy Fralin pickups.

Jazz pickups

3 5/8" Neck, 3 3/4" Bridge)

These two pickups are not interchangeable, the rear pickup is wider than the neck pickup to accommodate wider string spacing near the bridge.

Fits most JBass pickups including Seymour Duncan and Lindy Fralin pickups.

70s Bridge Pickup Reposition

With our 70's Jbass pickup reposition, we relocate the bridge pickup rout approximately 3/8" closer to the bridge. This increases the mid-range for that vintage 'burpy' tone. Very nice for Jaco styles and finger style players.

This custom rout is an extra $45
