Cool. Thanks for all the info. I like the bridge pickup a lot. As I have the original neck pickup I think I will try this first and see how it goes.
Thanks again!

They are Demarzios. I like the bridge a lot more than the neck. As we're already in Frankenstien land here, and I already play a nice jazz, I'm goin to try to mix original and jazz pus. Don't know what it will sound like...The finish is like a mat finish or something. Not glossy. I've sanded it for ...

It was white...now it's just like a dirty mapleglow. I've been sanding it with steelwool but it still just looks a little funny. Sound goo though and will sound cool with original pickup in the neck and jazz in the bridge.

Here are some pics. After a visit to the tech everything seems fine with the bass. I've been cleaning up the finish a little and will install the original neck pickup. But otherwise sounds cool.

Well I'lll be. I was not aware that anyone installed Jazz bass pickups in Ricks. Forgive me. These are not done so well and thus don't sound great. More pics to come.

I have just bought a 1978 4001 Bass. It's been stripped and someone PUT JAZZ BASS PICKUPS IN IT!! Oh the horror!! But aside from this, which was done with much damage to the bass, it seems fine. It is stripped from its original color and then never refinished. It now looks kind of like dirty wood ...
