Do you mind if the neck pickup is the regular 6-string size MXY pickup and the angled bridge pickup is the 7-string size MXY? The 6-string size will cover the string spacing fine since you have a narrow neck width. If we use the 7-string size in the neck position it will interfere with the normal battery compartment placement. Because of the size of the body and the electronics (maybe with a new change you emailed me about) I can't move the battery easily. Let me know if this is OK with you and I'll check more on the electronics mod you requested. roberto Member Username: roberto Post Number: 75 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, September 07, 2009 - 9:55 pm:    Hi Mica, how's the bridge pick up plan that you suggested gonna be? thanks roberto Member Username: roberto Post Number: 76 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 11:17 am:    please move the neck pick up 5mm towards the bridge. and place the coil as far as possible towards the bridge. thank you roberto Member Username: roberto Post Number: 84 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Saturday, September 26, 2009 - 6:23 am:    Hi Mica, I hevent hear any response nor update as to my bass building or pick up position change.

Actually, it wouldn't work if there was no angle because of the spread of the strings. So the bridge pickup has to be the 7-string size. This can get routed on the regular routing run on Thursday, so to confirm once again since we can only cut the wood once: 1. neck pickup is AXY56 (1.75 x 5) 2. neck pickup is moved 5 mm closer to the bridge. That puts the center of the pickup to the end of the fingerboard measurement to 3.784 inches (96.11 mm). 3. The neck pickup AXY56 coil is to be cast at the bridge facing side of the pickup 4. the bridge pickup is an AXY7 pickup (1.75 x 6.00) at the angle you described. Please give me this confirmation of details, and we'll get the routing completed and your bass on to the spray department. roberto Member Username: roberto Post Number: 89 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 5:25 pm:    point1.2.3 is fine point 4: since it is an AXY7, can you replace it with a FATBOY AXY7 like I requested? let me know the upgrade cost please. robert mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6429 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 5:42 pm:    I will check tomorrow if I have FatBoy magnets in that size. If so I'll let you know by email. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6433 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - 2:29 pm:    I do! I'm so happy, because custom ordering magnets can take donkeys years (a very long time!).
