Stopping body-mounted soapbar P90’s from wobbling

noisepolluter · October 2023

The bridge pickup on my special wobbles about a bit when I catch it with my picking hand (the neck pickup less so as it’s set lower).

What’s the best way of making it a bit more stable - stronger springs? Foam padding underneath?

Yep foam, ideally the slightly denser type you sometimes get in packing materials, rather than the very soft spongy type.

I use self adhesive door insulation strips as it stays put when you're refitting the pickup, but any dense foam is fine.

I had some black gymnasium matting that was perfect for the purpose ... started out with a bit about 4ft square and have used it all as packing :-)
