hey wise humans of tone,

I'm an old-timer with a 1971 quot;F-seriesquot; Fender P-bass that I have configured to accept a J-style bridge pickup to create a P-J setup. I am so far keeping the original Precision pickups (although I have not yet convinced myself that I will be able to do so). I have a very old SJB-2 Hot Jazz Bass pickup that I bought maybe 15 years ago. Its never sounded right (lots of hum...tone control doesn't work). I am redoing the wiring and have some questions: 1) Do I have to reverse the magnet to pair this with the stock pickups; 2) What size cap do I need for the tone pot? The schematic that came with my SJB-2 indicates a 0.05 mfd. The schematic with my Precision says 0.5 mfd @ 50v. Should I split the difference? 3) I assume that the old SJB is a single-coil pickup. Do I need a ground wire to the bridge if I fully shield the internal cavities? Any advise from you would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

hey guys. I have just bought a Warwick Fortress from 96' of the 'bay. Some of the parts have aged. THe gold has rubbed off some of the tailpeice and bridge and the screws are pitted to a small extent. Also it has some of the worst case of bucklerash i have ever seen.

Hey, yesterday I went and replaced my stock bc rich bridge p'up with a seymour duncan screamin demon, now the problem is, is that it doesn't sound very heavey at all, and it's quiet compared to my bridge which is a stock bc rich p'up. Here are some photos of the wiring to see if I done it right. I followed the schematics on the seymour duncan page for a 2 humbucker, 1 volume, 1 tone, 3 way no split which is what my setup is. So I soldered the black wire to the toggle switch like the diagram, then I grounded the green and bare to the back of the tone pot like the diagram, and I soldered the red and white together and insulated them with electric tape. But the distortion is very weak, and it's very quiet compared to my other p'up. What is wrong?
also, I have taken a pic of the guitar side on where the duncan is and was wondering if it is the right position or should it be perfectly parallel to the strings?

I'm having trouble identifying a pickup i found. It's a a red and black humbucker, rated about 6.0k. It's 4 conductor, and it has 11 pole pieces on each coil. It's also worht mentioning that it dosn't have cloth covering the wire wrap of it. I got it for free in a deal I made, but i have been unsucessfull in identifying it. It looks fairly old, 80's or early 90's. If anyone has any information, please share

What do you guys think...it's obviously not as tight a fit as a Tele neck. I know I'm probably just over anylizing this, but Is there much loss of resonance? I need a cheap Warmoth conversion neck in maple and i'm thinking of just buying a Strat neck from the showcase to save a few bucks. Tele conversion necks are few and far between in the showcase.

Hey guys i have a hamer cx-2( go it for VERY cheap on ebay...haha just needed a project) It's got a strat basswood body with a maple neck and fret board. I need some advice as to what two humbckers to put in. My musical tastes are along the lines of Zeppelin, Hendrix, slash(g'n'r), ac/dc, clapton, and nirvana. I guess i need enough tonal versatility so that they can get down amp; dirty and clean up good too. Much appreciated.
