Persuader Bass

[mica]

The P and Jazz pickups don't use the springless pickup adjustment system, they were designed long before we came along and we make them as direct retrofits. If you want the P pickups to remain solid, then I suggest you make a shim and place it under the pickup(s). You will have to modify the shim anytime you want the pickup lowered, but it will keep the pickup from sinking under pressure.

this includes even the p and j pickups that came your persuaders, or does this just refer to the ones you can buy to retrofit like a jazz bass or something?  also, how much would it possibly cost to have to electronics modified to have a q-filter for each pickup instead of just a master filter knob?  basically wired like the signature electronics.

We use the same pickups for retrofits or for Persuaders.  
 
The simplest way to change to two filters is to repalce the existing electronics with Signature electronics. It's $625 for Signature electronics without pickups. You can then use your Persuader electronics for another project.
 
You can eliminate the Q switches and that will save $90. If you use the filter you already have, you can shave another $200 off the price, bringing it down to $335. You can do the installation yourself or have us do it for $150 including a fresh set of strings and a setup.

cool.  thanks.  now i just have to build up the strength to go a while with out my baby.  guess that will give me a chance to pull some of my other basses out.  i have a few projects that i want to use my persuader on right now, but when i'm through with that stuff, i will let you guys know when i am about to send it in.  considering what ever the current work load might be, approximately how much is the turn around time on a job like that usually?  also, would it be worth while to go ahead and just replace the filter i currently have in it because of updated electronic reasons?  or are they still pretty much the same?

They are pretty much the same, of course, I'm sure you'll wear out the pot in the older one first if we go that way.  
We need to have your bass here 2-3 weeks to complete a project like this. Call or email before you send it to make sure we don't have a backlog that would delay us starting your modifications.
