Been doing this for years on all my Stingrays. I actually cut the last one in the shape of the pickup coils, cutting the holes for the pole pieces lol. Definitely a great trick to make playing over a pickup more comfortable.
Very nice video bu the way I like very much, I bought a new fender arrived yesterday it sound very good because the magnetic are down like what you did here now I think this make a very big difference in sound
Electrical Tape is not a fix, if you have to do that, your pickups are way too close. Assuming the bass is properly setup, those pickups should never be touching the strings. Hold the string down at the last fret and measure the gap between the top of the pole piece and the bottom of the string. For a Jazz Bass the E string should be 2.8mm from the pole piece, and the G should be 2mm. If the Pickups are too close they can actually pull strings out of intonation and have a weird chorusing effect, that sounds like your string is out of tune with itself.
@@joerobot32 - I've always played aggressively & have always had this problem w/ open-pole basses, no matter the setup. I agree that a good setup will solve many problems, but everybody plays differently, maybe I shouldn't dig so deep when I play, but it's been 20 years, so doubt that'll change soon. Electrical tape isn't the best fix, but it is a quick easy fix.
@@AndyVanBass I dig in quite a bit, and I just dont have that problem. Anyway, thats How I've been avoiding it for a good 15 years, don't see why it couldn't work for you.
This is exactly what I was looking for

I'm glad i saw the P Bass pick up height adjustment video because I believe this is what my Jazz needs 👍
I'm going to use two strips of felt under my jazz bass covers. Thanks
YOU ARE LIFE SAVER MAN!!!!!!
This absolutely worked and got sorted. Thank you. Nice playing by the way....
My quick fix to this is electrical tape on the neck pickup so it's not metal touching metal.
But thanks for posting, I may try this!
