Thanks Bluesheart, and Hal there are no stupid questions... I’ve read just about every post on here looking for answers!! Most people on here angle the 6 pole mag so that each string runs between 2 poles. This was my plan, but to be honest didn't really work out.... But having completed it I don’t think it really matters, it still sounds pretty good considering it’s a $5 mag. If you’re concerned you could try using a humbucker or blade pickup instead and then it doesn’t matter how many strings you have. Or the 4 string bass pickups are meant to work pretty well. Its all just trial and error so give it a go and if it doesn’t work just build another!

Stupid question... any problems, concerns or worries about using a 6 pole pickup with 3 strings? How's it sound?
