Gday from Port Kennedy

Mike here from Port Kennedy Wa I have just commenced IB5 build in dairy Blonde this awesome bass will join my Fender P and ESP 204FM.
Can some one tell me what are the 8springs for that are in the pack of parts
Cheers
Mike

Mike, can you perhaps take a photo of the pack of parts you received and post it on here using the blue "Reply" button. I suspect that somehow you may have ended up with a pack of parts not intended for the IB5....

Hi Gavin I have posted a couple of pics
Mike

Welcome Mike.

Gav, are the pickups foam/rubber blocked or sprung on the IB-5? 4 screws per pup, 4 springs?


Edit: Ah the pics appeared while I was posting, body mount pickup screws and springs.

Mike,
Welcome to the mad house! Good choice in the IB-5... That said - the springs should go on the screws and sit between the pickup and the body of the guitar. They will be fairly heavily compressed but they should be pushing the pup towards the strings.

Hi Brendan
when springs are compressed there is only 2 to 3 threads of the screw that will screw into the body
Mike

These springs are definitely for the pickups.....you dont need too much thread to hold them in place....

Thanks guys

Gav is right, you only need about five mm of the screw to go into the body.
If the springs are still a tad long you can nip about 3mm of one end.

Hey Mike, did you sort this out? The photos indicate you have the correct parts. Let us know if you're still having any issues.

Welcome Mike!
