    Also saw this on another post earlier today and looks like an alternative way to do it.

    Yeah, I wired them up outside the slim cavity too. It would impossible to do it any other way.

    The Dowunderbird is done.

    She lives....all done. Thank you to all those that helped.

    I really like the burst in real life....so sucky in piccies....oh well.

    She sounds great for Chinese stock pickups.

    Bass players...get one...really good fun and a great result when done.

    Very, very nice.

    Did you get the split coil push pull wiring to work the way you wanted? Does it make much tonal difference with the generic Chinese PUP's?

    I got it to work first time....thanks to you and Weirdy....thank you.

    In reality with these pickups it just seems to drop the bounce for buck in the pickups. It seems to quieten them down....like a tonal drop without rolling the treble off. Similar to a chinese jazz bass pickup.....jack the Roland up a little and all is good....sounds different. I love the combinations available...nice option.

    On the Bensons it seemed a bit more obvious and coil split dropped some of the beefiness of the humbucker on it's own. Handy to have a few options to play with.

    It is funny WAZ...maybe I am just looking for something.....but with both pots pushed to the humbucking position I think the Bass has more punch. Maybe connecting each coil to its own circuit has guaranteed connections....whereas my average soldering may have not with the twist and dip method.

    Either way....save some money and try a set of Seymour Duncan 4 string Phase II passives I think.

    She is different in the hands....holding position....but so smooth when you pluck a string....feels very comfortable. My favourite is still a P Bass I made a couple of years ago...but this is a close second....in front of my Yamaha BB series.

    Good stuff Ozzie. Comfortable shape to play sitting down.

    EMG do a soapbar passive or active that would fit too and possibly better priced than SD's.
