Hey all. I recently got my long-awaited dinky J body and accompanying neck, and both pieces were love at first sight. The body only has one issue in a sea of perfection; I had it routed for a J / MM pickup setup, and the MM pickup rout is just a tiny bit too small for the SD MM pickup I bought...

Warmoth offers four different necks for normal scale 4-string basses. Which is your favourite, and why?

That Audere thing looks perfect! Thanks for the recommendation, this is getting bookmarked. That bass is lovely btw. How do you find the Babicz bridge compared to a Gotoh or whatever else they put on jazz bases?

Hey guys. I'm building my first bass this year, and I want to make sure that my build will actually work before I buy everything. I'm going to be using a J bass body, and I want a J pickup in the neck slot with a MM pickup for the bridge. Bridge pickup...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'll give it some thought.

I was hoping to have a volume knob, a pickup blend, and then some kinda EQ control for the active electronics. Your suggestion for the 4-knob setup might work fine though, as I've just found out about Seymour-Duncan's 3-band 3-knob setup they have for their MM pickups.

It does make sense, yeah. That's a good option. Do you know if WM does any bass bodies that support 5 knobs?

Hey guys. I'm considering building my first bass this year, and I want to make something with a J neck pickup and a MM bridge pickup. I've been looking at body shape options (J-bass was my first choice) but the control hole options seem limited and wouldn't support the active EQ knobs that MM...
