I hear that. Gigs are trickling back, and I’m fully vaccinated. I expect it’ll be a short while before my calendar gets back to normal, but it’s happening. And best of luck to you! I hope you get to play soon.

I will measure the scale of this bass later when I’m home. It’s supposed to be in the 30” range.

Thanks! I’ll be more certain (I hope) that it kicks ass this weekend when I play it live.

Agree. I plan to try that at some point, and yes I’ll do a short video clip as soon as possible! Thanks for your info, man. You’ve been such a great help in this thread. :)

The old pickup was in that spot, so they do make Starfires with pickups in that position. The newer single pickup starfires with the Bisonics are in a similar position as well. Mine looks further from the bridge because it’s a different type of bridge to begin with.

Well, in fact the bass had a pickup to begin with, so my choice of positions was quite limited. I’m pretty happy with it.

That’s the position I usually see them in, so I just went with it. Sounds killer

Yep.

It’s together now. Hoping to complete things this evening and wire it up. Pretty optimistic that this will be a cool axe!

Laying it out. It looks better than I expected. Still have to get it all wired up and installed.

Good god. FINALLY, WD is shipping out the surround for my pickup. Hopefully I’ll get this thing together in the coming week or so. Wish me luck !

That’s the spirit! I try to do the same.

I gotcha, thanks man. Sorry for the dumb questions, I’m more used to installing the Fender type stuff. Really appreciate all you folks helping me out. :)

Thanks! So you’re saying to actually solder the black to the outer shielding, then both to ground?

Pickup is here. Dumb question- I assume red is hot and black is ground. But does that outer braided portion need to be grounded as well? I’d email Curtis Novak but that guy can’t be bothered to respond.

Ok, did a little research and I found what I need to know. DPDT it is. The Lindy Fralin site has a great breakdown of how these switches work.

Specifically, I’m confused about the whole “dpdt vs spdt” thing. Which do I need?

Thanks man. I’ll probably go with 250k since I’m used to it. So just any linear 250k push/pull will do?

Oh yeah- can someone be kind enough to recommend the correct type of push/pull pot for the coil tap on a Curtis Novak pickup? It’s not for this project, it’s for a single coil PBass that I’m gonna modify for the BS-DS. It needs to be solid shaft. I haven’t decided on 250K or 500k yet though...

The Curtis Novak is on the way to me already. I just paid WD for my custom pickup surround, so that’s underway too. I hope this all works out. 🤞
