Has anyone custom ordered a Quarter Pound Stack? It seems like in this era of noiseless pickups along with the huge 80’s retro revival a quiet Quarter Pound would be awesome. This goes for the Strat and Tele. It also seems to me that a side by side QP Jazz Bass would be awesome, especially packaged as PJ with the QP Precision.

They can do quarter pound stack?
Didn't know that, but I like the idea. The quarter pounder for strat is underrated, but very noisy.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

There must be some reason this wouldn't work as well as it might seem to. One complaint about the QP is the additional louder hum. Seems like a stack version would solve that, but maybe it does something weird to the sound.Administrator of the SDUGF

I think a noise gate would be cheaper than ordering off the Custom Shop, LOL. And probably would sound less different as well.
I love how the QP in my Esquire, and my noise gate has no problem handling it at all. Even for high-gain metulz.
Just throwing another option out there.Last edited by Rex_Rocker; 02-06-2023, 03:53 PM.

ah, gotcha. again they made me a single coil p bass stack, so im sure they could do a qp jazz stack too. its a tall pup though, i was building the bass from scratch so i made sure the rout was deep enough, maybe in the bridge of jazz bass, it wont be an issue though
