![]() ![]() This, along with the McNelly Pickups replacement pickup, specifically designed for Bronco and Musicmaster turns this bass into a serious tonal instrument. Upon comparing the stock bronco bridge and saddles to a Musicmaster bridge and saddles I came to the conclusion that the initial string spacing is the same, but there seam to be a broader two saddle (like those found on 34" scale two saddle bridge basses) thus making the string spacing apear wider. A long scale bass has a 17mm string spacing, where a Short scale is more 15mm. The bronco with it's smaller bridge, but broader saddles, kind of sits in the middle. This makes some sence due to the 6 pole stock pu. So, I think in order to make the Aero replacement pu work propperly, a saddle upgrade to the desired 15mm would be a good idea as well, or go with a $ 20,-Misicmaster replacement bridge and have a string thru bridge like the original musicmasters. Though, I feel that a $ 125,- upgrade on a PU is quiet hefty, pricewise. MUSICMASTER BASS PICKUP REPLACEMENT UPGRADE Custom, rich, strong single coil blade pickup. I even think the RI Mustang Pu's were desinged by Seymour Duncan, but I'm not sure.Seymour recommends a Cool Rail. It fits the route, the tone is good for that instrument, and the rails cover the string spacing with no problem.Yeah, I had considered that option. I decided to go with the quarter pounder because I read that someone had replaced their Squier Bronco bass pup, which is essentially the same as the old Fender Musicmaster, with the SCPB-3Īnd had gotten very good results. I guess those old Fender Strat pups they used back then are much better than the Bronco pups used now. Anyway, I do like the tone on the SCPB-3. The thing is, I have to turn the volume on my amp up 2 1/2 times greater to acheive the same amount of output as the original pup. I am gonna keep the quarter pounder installed. I also have a Roland V- Bass pup on the Musicmaster and I am blending both pups so I do get a real nice tone. In designing a more appropriate replacement, the idea came up of adding in extra poles to more closely mimic a P Bass or Jazz Bass design. I have another Musicmaster bass also, but I am gonna keep the stock pup in that one. There's barely enough space for it to work, but boy does it work. It brings a Musicmaster or Bronco to life. Last week I replaced the split coil pup on my inexpensive short scale SX P-Bass with a Quarter Pounder SPB-3. Now that made a HUGE diffrence in both the volume and tone. MUSICMASTER BASS PICKUP REPLACEMENT MODS.MUSICMASTER BASS PICKUP REPLACEMENT UPGRADE.Made in the U.S.A! Add $10 for push on connectors for a Blues Jr.™ amp. A great projecttransformer that is compact and powerful and produces a more reasonable B+ voltage making it suitable for many cathode biased, single-endedand EL84 based circuits. 2" by 2-1/2" mounting centers means it willfit a Champ™ or Princeton™ chassis. This makes it a great bolt-inupgrade for the Blues Jr.™ (same color code leads, too) where a little higher B+ voltage and better voltage regulation are desiredfor more headroom or where 6L6/E元4 power tubes are to be installed for a more powerful amp. It also has a pair of brown leads rated 20V at 100mA. This is sufficient for a pair of E元4s in fixed bias or a pair of 6L6s in cathode bias or a single ended amp usinga big 6550/KT88 power tube - plus 3 or 4 preamp tubes. It will support a power supply rated approximatel圓65V DC at 150mA DC. It does not support a tube rectifier.It is rated 120V to 280V at 200mA with a 6.3V center-tapped heater winding rated 4A. TP24 power transformer requires a full-wave-bridge type solid-state rectifier. Be careful! If this is the TP24 sold by allen amps. ![]()
