it doesn't hurt to measure but if you REALLY want to know like say an EMG active into your bass best bet is to Google some forums.

as long as its say a 4 string soap bar or P bass pickup for another you should be fine as far as i know as with 6 string Guitars its just normal or F spaced.

Can I combine guitar strings with bass strings on an electric guitar and if so what thickness should I use?

Thought I've never tried this, I highly doubt using bass strings on a guitar would work. First of all, the bass string likely wouldn't fit inside a guitar's tuning peg. Also, the action on a guitar simply wouldn't work with a bass string. As far as pickups go, I'm not sure what bass frequencies would do to a guitar pickup, but i wouldn't try.

Can you install emg pickups in your Jackson rr5fr?

you can put them on any guitar from walmart guitars to any real guitar like your RR5. It'll cost a bit extra to re-wire the guitar to fit the EMGs in it as they take out all the old electronics but if you really want to go active by all means. Once they're in its the easiest thing in the world to switch them to other active pickups.


Can you put guitar strings on bass guitar l?

Although i ave never tried this myself, i would not recomend it. Firstly, basses are normally longer than standard guitars, so the strings might not fit. Secondly, it totally defeats the object of having a bass fi you're going to shove strings that would make it sound like a guitar on it.======= Even short-scale basses are usually at least 30 inches long, and regular basses are 34 inches. The grooves cut on the nut of a bass are too large for guitar strings, and bass bridges were not designed to hold down guitar strings. The string spacing of a bass is completely unsuitable for guitar-style playing.If you want a guitar with a bass feel, try a baritone guitar.


What would I need to do to convert an electric guitar to an electric bass with out buying all new set-ups?

Just buy a new guitar, but if you insist....1. buy bass pickups, and make sure they fit.2. buy a new head/neck with a 4 spaced nut, and four tuners.3. buy a new bridge, one with 4 string pass ways.all this for about 150 dollars, which is enough for a bassA:It is impossible. Bass guitars have lower frequencies and the strings are spaced farther apart, thus requiring a larger pickup. The length of neck affects innotation, meaning that a guitar neck would make the bass out of tune. Also, the neck needs to be better supported depending on the number of strings on the new bass. The bridge will need to be replaced as well, along with the nut. The tuner have to different sizes. You're better off just buying a bass guitar.


Can an electric guitar be played as a bass?

with very thick strings like 13-56 (drop tuning strings) it comes close but theres such thing as a 6 string bass. But, get a baritone guitar for the best results as most guitars you'd have to file down the nut on the neck to make the strings fit and play proper. a baritone electric guitar is a longer necked electric guitar that is designed for bass tunings.
