Interesting! Thanks, Addison! I will be sure to measure it when I get home, as I have been wanting a bass with the 70's spacing to hear the tonal difference. I might have had one all along!

I have a Badass II on mine as well, for reference :)
I noticed the difference mostly from the distance between the bridge pickup and the pickguard screws.

Cool, I didn't realize they made some of these with correct 70s spacing. 8-)

There was a guy on TB saying you could also measure between the poles, 4 inches for 70's spacing and 3 1/5 to 3 3/8 for 60's. I did on mine and worked!

I took the pickup measurements this morning and ...

... drum roll please ...

The pickup poles are at 4" centers, and the bridge pickup is 2 1/4" from center to bridge.

How about that!

I wonder what the spacing on my G&L is...
