McNelly 'Broncomaster' single coil bass pickup for Musicmaster & Bronco bass

Excellent Little Pickup

I was surprised when stripping down the guitar for maintenance that the standard Bronco pickup was actually a 6 string pickup from a strat. I was perusing YT not specifically for a replacement but came across the McNelly that's custom made for the guitar and listened to the reviews. I bought one from James' Home Of Tone expecting about 4 weeks delivery as they normally come from Canada but he emailed me after the order to say he had a couple in stock and do I want to collect or do I want it in the post. He's less than an hours drive from me so I fetched it the next day. James had a wealth of experience, a really nice guy as well as he carries quite a lot of stock, so I ended up bringing home some CTS pots, mustard caps and a fresh set of strings as well as the pickup. I upgraded the bass and love how it sounds, very retro in my opinion, and fills a gap in my bass collection in terms of musical genre. The Bronco is a fairly cheap instrument to buy, and I'm delighted to say that with the new configuration this little bass sounds awesome and big, punching above it's weight well into the higher priced quality guitars tiers in terms of performance. Don't let people tell you that it's a beginners guitar, I've played bass for over 40 years and have a Fender (MIJ) P bass as one of my go to's, plenty of professionals play short scales too. The mods I've made to this with the McNelly and the better quality electrics have elevated this guitar in my collection to another go to bass. Seriously happy, and in future, if James has anything I want in stock in future, it's a no brainer I'll be at his place first.
