The title of this thread is self-explanatory. Get Toasters® for your 6- and 12-strings while they're available. Don't forget your treble pickup cover, cover screws, nuts, mounting screws, and rubber grommets, too. Peace, out....Goofyfoot.

My bass toasters have 6 poles, what's the diff, why couldn't you use one of those on a bass?

The toasters are the same, the mounting screws are different.

I had no problem just now ... looks like whatever was awry was fixed.

Strange...it works now.

Yes the Toaster mounting plates....the only difference is the threaded mounting holes for the bass as apposed to the larger screw holes that guitar mounting requires. I took the liberty of making a few on the CNC at work over the holidays. I won't be running out any time soon!

A pair of what? Guitar or bass toaster mounting plates?

Steve, looks like the 450 pickups mount like a basses do.

I got one for the bass in December. It was bad right out of the box, with a short in the wiring. Paul W sorted it out for me though, bless him.

I had a brand new one short out too, but its easy to sort out. As I remember it one of the leads on the new toasters is exposed and runs very close to something that can short it out. (I'm obviously not an electrician!) But its easy to see what is going wrong. I just un-soldered the lead, put some shrink tube over the short-prone area and re-soldered. Problem gone forever.

The shield can touch the solder point for the + coil output thus shorting the coil. Jeff's solution is easy and elegant.
