<p>Hi Tim, what I would consider is the following: This can be done as a side-view drawing. <br/> Mount pickup in the box with the desired amount above the top - adjust bridge height to approximate the desired string height over the pickup - then adjust neck angle to give those measurements, also keeping in mind string action at the 12th fret.</p>
<p>Works for me .<br/> cheers Taff</p>

<p>I built a JBass years ago and wasn't happy with the pickups til I wired them in series. I would've liked the PBass pickups more, but then I added a Gittybucker to the neck and I love it. It gives me those Gibby Bass tones without being muddy.</p>
<p>34" scale Tele JBass.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get a lopsided sound between the two when it comes to volume without a preamp? Maybe move the Gittybucker towards the middle & put 2 capacitors on a switch to add some variance to your Tone pot? </p>

<p>Cigar box is only 1 5/8” deep. Delta 3-pole pickup is 3/4” deep. <br/>Neck bracing in the body, don’t know if I can squeeze it in. <br/>Probably go in this direction.</p>

<p>There are a lot of folks out there who like the sound of rod piezos on bass. However, typically they use it with a preamps to boost the low frequencies. When you talk about depth, I'm not sure which pickup you're referencing, but I think it's the magnetic. Usually I start with them about 1/4" from the strings and fine tune from there.</p>
