You don't really want to use ordinary wood screws, but look for guitar or bass pickup mounting screws form guitar parts suppliers. Precision and Jazz bass pickups are both screwed directly into the body and normally have an unthreaded section by the head.

So look for something like this. https://www.allparts.uk.com/products...crews-for-bass

You'll also need some stiff neoprene foam to put under the pickups to support them and get them the right height.

So something like this https://www.allparts.uk.com/products...r-bass-pickups

Though you can normally find larger sheets of that foam on eBay for a similar price. You'll just need to work out the depth of foam you need. Better to get something thicker than necessary as you can always cut it down, otherwise go a lot thinner and build it up using several layers.

Hi all
First thank you all for the help

Here is a demo of my build that came out amazing.

sorry the video wasn't made for here but for a friend I'll do another one in English.

So the built is from a ex a model (ash body maple neck ebony fretboard)

It took me some months of work. Everything home made by me.

Specs :
Seymour Duncan nazgul sentinent
Seymour Duncan liberator
Push pull solderless potentiometer
Everything coated inside with ground connections a lot of work on ground in the guitar no buzz at all !!!
Coil split of both pickups
Frets work done
Action work also done
Sanded from hours then Paint on tru-oil no stain (the stain I got didn't looked great )
Frets are just inlays brought on internet
Tunomatic and bridge are the one provided

The strings on the guitar are the ones used for intonation needs to be changed by better ones.

Enjoy the video as I said I'll do a new one in English soon to put here.


Again thank you so much for the help you provided me with priceless tips and help.

I'm already thinking about another build but I'm trying to hold my self.

I think I'll add some work on this guitar since honestly it came out like a great piece.

C’est formidable!

Nice work indeed, you must be very happy with the result!

That turned out very nice.

Top loaded pickups provide a more raw stripped back, almost naked look and from the video it would appear they are well seated and at the right height too. Sounds really good with lots of useable sounds.

Well done.
