so i've got a 5 string J bass on the way and i've decided (after seeing many reviews) to go with Aero ( http://www.aeroinstrument.com/ ) Type 1's for the pickups. however Aero needs to know the string spacing at the pickup locations before they can build them... I could just wait till i get the bass built up but the pickups are going to take a month to build on their own... anyone have a way to figure out the spacing before it gets here? :dontknow:
another thing, I chose Goncalo Alves for the neck wood and i noticed it wouldn't let me select a finish.... am I just supposed to oil it? I choose it because it had the tonal properties i was looking for... i'm much less concered with how it looks.
also in general what should I expect when it gets here and what should i be aware of while building it?
thanks in advance
