Tuners actually work very well and classic fender headstock shapeFound some pickups that fitted the bass perfectly and sound full (they are humbuckers so perfectly quietFinish in great condition.In original case! Status Bass from 70s (very similar to the Ibanez basses of the time probably from the Fuji Gen Gakki plant) come in with only one pickup (not working). Cleaned up, new pickups installed and setup, Intonation set, new nut cut (old one cracked), pots cleaned and lubed, fretboard cleaned and oiled.
Hello,
I own a Status bass just like the one pictured. I am considering carrying out similar upgrades on mine and I wanted to ask you about the humbucker pickups. What make are they?
I would like to find some pickups that will drop in easily…
Many thanks,
Mike
They are actually guitar pickups not bass I think they were from Warman on ebay.. Slightly larger than minihumbuckers. They were in my spare parts box so not 100% sure sorry 😉
Wow! Guitar pickups? Really?
Ok, thanks for the tip.
Nice bass by the way 🙂
Kind regards,
Mike
