Installing SD Antiquity IIs in a 1986-1987 MIJ Fender Jazz

[Sean MacNintch]

I started taking apart the bass last night......have not read directions....and of course have a question

Antiquity II's only have 2 wires. Should I keep the old metal ground plates (removing foam so the new pickups fit)? thanks!

ive done it both ways and i didnt really notice a difference. if you keep the plate, make sure to keep it grounded. i love the way the antiquity ii pups sound by the way

[Sean MacNintch]

thanks!

Let us know how this project turns out!

[Sean MacNintch]

I chose to leave them in minus the old foam...worked like a charm. The pickups sound sweet! I still need to finish my setup and I'm getting a new pickguard tomorrow.

[jeremy]

glad you like the sounds youre getting!

[Sean MacNintch]

Finished! with a new pick guard, Schaller strap locks, & truss rod adjustment

[Mincer]

That came out great!!

[jeremy]
