Tools And Equipment :
- Sub Sterling Ray 4 Bass
- alumunium tape
- Ernie Ball Potentiometer 250 K
- Vishay Cera-Mite .05u
- Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Pickup
- Boss GEB-7 Equalizer

P pickup in a musicman. That's pretty sweet.
FrankenP Thank You sir 😊 i just love p bass to, so I try upgrade with added spb-3 pickup
The dividing line between P bass split coils is BEAD harmonics working across the strings (from E to G) which would have been Leo Fender's decision. If you position a P bass pickup anywhere other than at this precise alignment it won't give you "that" classic sound. On a Musicman the stock pickup is far enough away from the bridge to make that authentic combination look untidy, so the P pickup has to move further towards the neck.
Hey man, great job!
Little tip - make sure to isolate the pots from the cavity - I did similiar shielding and mine pot turned a little when used during playing and the signal went gone - A piece of insulation tape does the job! :)
yes you right! good advice, thanks Man :)
Thanks for making this video ✨👍
looks a little weird but sounds awesome: both and tune 100%
Amazing

I'm planning to do same job, but with Claypool's signature pick up, but I have no idea how to do that. Now my bass is stock, with 2 band eq.
Great Video - Thanks so much for sharing what you did and the results. Personally, I'm not real familiar with all the electronics as far as what you did in wiring it, and that piece that you wired in to the bass control at the 3:17 mark.. what is it and what does it do? I have the same bass, and have thought about doing what you have done, and I love the results from what I hear on yours. It would be Great if you could redo the video, but explain what you're doing and how you do it all the way through. What is the purpose of the aluminum (?) tape? Where did you get the material for the new pick guard? Thanks again.
Hi Thank You for the comment.
at 3:17 you can follow the wiring diagram drive.google.com/open?id=1zNQ4R7gpDRq6XB-Ks3-hh_xHkHZR1Fyc , from this guide i'm using capacitor Vishay Cera-Mite .05u.
I'm using aluminum tape to make more grounding system (ground is the reference point in an electrical circuit). Has no effect on tone, only reduces noise (when your finger not touching strings). You can find ground wire on bridge bass just make sure following wiring diagram.
No need new pick guard i just using the old one, and You can find aluminum tape on hardware retail :)
Nicely done. The P pickup alone seems much weaker than the MM pickup. Height maybe?
lanjutkan lae.. mantap... mana cover lagu batak nya lagi
Hehehe iyah Le lagi pada sibuk neh,, jadi belum bikin lagi :)
so good so nais
Hi, do you think the modification is worth?? I have the same bass and im planning to add the p bass pick up. Do you think that your bass is more versatile now? Was it worth for you?
Sorry for my bad english
Hello,, Yes I think is worthied. i love sound of the SPB-3 Pretty close with Precision Bass. So i didn't spend money for buy another bass :)
Cool bass. Whats song name at min. 3: 00 ???
Hi Thank You, Little Maps - Out The Blue
Hello sir can i do this to active pickups mm sterling ray34? I like to do the same
Helo, i'm not sure, Ray34 have four knob. i suggest you find wiring diagram that similar. overall is same if you want to add P-Bass, Active (from output pickup go to 9 volt battery). negative battery to ground jack output and positive battery to both pickup
@@MusicCoverage thanks sir
@@hiluxtv7338 you welcome 😀
Aluminum tape, instead of copper tape? Interesting.
Yes better copper, but not available near me 🙂
You sound like Fernando Martinez from GTA
Would you share the wiring diagram?

@@MusicCoverage thank you
I would rather
U walk us through it talking then the music and fest speed, good video tho
I have been looking for this pick up combination!! I've been wanting this setup, with a maple jazz neck, is it easier to put P's in music man, or can you get a 5 string fender and drop MM's in? Didnt know if there was a particular reason you went w the stingray instead? @music_coverage
Neck jazz, nice.
actually i just modify my available bass. years after years have sub sterling (really love it) I just want add new sound :)
@@MusicCoverage I dig it man! Awesome work, scared to mess with my baby because it's dialed in lol, like to know all and everything about doing something just to make sure I don't mess anything up down the line or have to do it over 😒 lol
