Need some advice here. I've got an extra active EMG J pickup I was thinking of installing in the bridge or neck of my thumb bass to give it some different tone range. Has anyone tried this before? They are both active PU, so in theory this should work. I have an active 3 band MEC installed-tone...

Funny thing- I've been tossing the idea around. It would be easier than the JAN was.

I am interested to hear how much of a difference in tone the brass makes. It's more dense than regular brass. It was definitely a challenging build. Here's the final cut. Thanks for all the feedback, definitely keeping the MEC's.

Thanks for the feedback on the post and I'm glad to hear you were offered another option because in all my correspondence with H. P. Wilfer it was not discussed, mentioned, or given as a variable but I did purchase it used.

I've seen many different posts about the problems with the truss rod in these basses and want to share another first hand experience that kept me up for several days- I even had dreams about this... I bought this bass used for less than $900 and was ensured by the seller that he had my tech look...
