I want to design and carve a body for a short-scale bass one day… with some help for the technical part, it could be feasible. But I can’t find measures of pick-up positions in standard P or PJ basses, let alone short-scale ones.
How could one approach the problem? I wouldn’t even start considering what neck to buy without knowing I can copy the set-up of an existing bass with reasonably placed pick-up(s). I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
I’ve seen @athosmr2003 original construction, how did you decide on the pick-up placement in the body? Sorry if I missed an explanation, but was scrolling quickly trough thousand of posts 
Could anybody help me, and measure where the pick-ups sit, for example, on a Sire U5 or a Mustang?
