The bass is all back together and works great!  There were some hurdles along the way but it came out great.

The pickups sound awesome and the P Bass pick is super powerful and just what I wanted.

Still to do…  My knobs didn’t fit so more are on the way.  I did not counter sink the screws in the pick guard yet.  One of the wires that came with the pickups is real short and I want to replace it.  Kill switch pops pretty bad so I want to add resistors to hopefully quiet it down.

I’ll upload a sound demo later.

A Jazz bass has a few features that define it.  One of them is two single coil pickups; one mounted in the body near the bridge, one mounted in the pickguard closer to the neck.  I’m changing the one pickup to a Precision Bass humbucking pickup.

I need a new pickguard and I’m gonna make it myself.  This turned out to be one of the most labor intensive jobs in the whole project.  Read on
