Hi, I'm thinking of swaping the pickups on my stage one 5. After reading a lot of opinions and reviews I've decided to go with SD basslines. There's one thing I'm not sure though, I've seen the dimmensions on SD's site and they fit but the distance between the bolts doesn't match. Could that be a problem? Thanks
 
i just installed Seymour Duncan AJB-5's on my streamer 2 this afternoon...the bolts fir perfectly.
 
My poor english isn't helping me, sorry. Yes...I want to change the pickups in my stage one. They are soapbars. The SD soapbars have a different distance between bolts than the MECs, could this be a problem? I don't have a clue where the pickups are bolted but if it's the body I imagine that could be a problem. Thanks

If the the two pickups have a different distance between the pickups there is a chance that you might encounter some problems when installing the new ones because at the factory we insert the screw holes at the distance needed for the specific pickups we are going to use on that particular instrument.
 
Ok, that's where I was trying to get. Thanks for the reply. So that means I can't change the pickups for SD :x darn it!
