P90 springs / foam?

Matt_McG

I have some Oil City P90s in a PRS SE, which I'm very happy with. But, the foam I'm using under the pickups isn't doing what I need. I think it has compressed over time and the pickups aren't coming up to match the screws when I loosen the height adjustment screws, and instead, the screws just sit proud of the pickup.

So, looking for a good source/size/length of spring (and possibly shorter mounting screws). Suggestions?

Thanks!

Pop me your address and I'll send you some silicone tubing ... better than springs any day :-)

The same thing has been known to happen on Precision and Jazz Bass pickups. The foam may eventually expand to take up the gap under a recently raised pickup or it might not.

Firmer foam is available but that can bring its own problems. I have a DiMarzio Ultra Jazz Bridge pickup that I can push down and it snaps back into place like Arkwright's cash till in Open All Hours.
