Triple 90 Jazzmaster Project Finished!

Post by HNB » Thu May 13, 2021 11:47 am

I have this body coming to me from mbene085 as part of a trade deal. The firebird pickups are gone and I am going to use chrome hardware. I plan on putting a Classic Player tremolo on it so I can have a screw in arm. Mike is sending me some P90's for the neck and middle. I plan on putting something hum cancelling in the bridge.

I have this Affinity Jazzy neck for it that I already put a decal on.

Body arrived. The neck fit perfect. I just need to wait on some parts. I guess p90 screws are longer than Jazzmaster screws? I never knew that. I also need a toggle, chrome jack plate, and I want to put in new pots. I also need a bridge pickup. :D

Something SO classy about a white and black guitar. I almost wonder if I'd have the headstock face painted black (if it was my project). Looking great Chris!

Almost done! Just need that chrome jack plate. All the wiring seems to be good. Toggle has neck and bridge and it goes to upper volume and tone. Middle pickup goes to the middle volume which goes to tone and then jack. I did the Jazz Bass wiring method so you can turn one volume all the way off and it doesn't turn everything else off.

All done! It has so many different sound options with that middle pickup. :D Really fun. :D
