I restored a Fender 400 it was disassembled when I bought it. I had the original pickup re-wound the magnets are different legnths graduated from short to long, I installed it with the long lengths to the heavier strings but I am not happy with the high end. I figured I'd ask if anyone knew the proper attitude for this pickup before I switch it. I have been playing out with it and I do enjoy the idiosycracies and I do get a great sound overall.

| On my 1000 the long magnets are on the bass strings, and under the pickup small clearance holes are drilled for the magnets on the bass side. So, I think you got it right! |
