Greetings Talkbass!
Looong time lurker, this is my 1st post.
To make this as short as possible, I have a AM DLX Suhr Era Fender Jazz that I love (it's in my picture thingy) and a Mexican one I am willing to experiment on. Can I take two (well, I guess it would actually be 4) of those single pole piece pups, glue them together to make kind of a Roscoe Beck/Fender Modern Player bass, complete with the switching ability (series/parallel/single coil) AND the preamp? Kind of like this? (Now if I can just figure out how to load a picture!)
Obviously, I would shave the inside screw holes off, so they could be glued together.
My concern is that all those big ole magnets directly under the strings would cause too much string pull.
And would switches like that with a pre just be asking for transient pops?
Help me make my dream bass come true.
