    I used the small knob for the blend pot on the pick guard and it covered the hole completely.

    Great idea. Any idea what would be a fair price to pay someone to do this? Realise it would depend but just looking for a ballpark as I'm new to this stuff

    Thank you, I’m going to do the same, I keep hitting the selector switch 🙈I might even do a pick up up grade✊🇺🇸 New subscriber 👍🏻

    You could put stacked pots and gain all the advantages you want while keeping the switch. I love having the switch as rolling a pot mid tune is much more difficult than flicking a switch

      The selector breaks very easily though... are you saying you could replace it with a selector that doesn't break? Would be interested to hear more about that as that's probably what my guitar shop will want to do as a fix under the warranty

    I just bought a Mustang PJ last week and realized blending the pickups is more desirable than merely switching between them. Thanks for this info.

    Great video, going to try to do this mod on my new player Mustang. :) Quick question: which dimarzio pickups did you go for? I see you replaced the stock pups with dimarzios, I'm thinking of doing that too.

    Very interested in trying this on my Player PJ Mustang bass, either as seen here or just bypassing the switch and putting in a stacked volume control. I'm already getting usable tones, but I know there's more in there!

    If you want it to be MORE versatile. Add a 5 way rotary knob

    Good to see your channel again. I haven't missed it so much because I don't see your video in the selection collage.

    First we need to find a bass with a selector switch 😂 (haven’t seen one)

      Yeah, the pickup selector switch. What would you call it?

    Glad I found your video. I just picked up a 'special edition' Mustang off CL for $140! It's mint, (mint green too, pun intended). It still had the protective plastic covering on the parts. I didn't play it thru an amp and of course when I got it home I found that the switch was bad! Did your mod and all is well. Thanks.

    One question, the whole in the pickguard for the switch is bigger than a pot hole. How did you deal with that?

    Would still like to see it in action. I’m about to go ahead and do this to my HH Rascal except I’m adding a lipstick in the middle.
