What kind of pickup are you thinking?
a rear pickup....doesn't matter which one as long as it's a Rick pup....If I leave the cap in, it will be quieter anyway

I'll check to see if the cap is there, I assume you are referring to the .0047µf cap. If it is missing I have one I'll send along with the bass. 8)

I am not trying to match the pickup for the year, just need to get rid of the 'strat effect' and make it sound right...

Congrats!

Don't let my girlfriend see this, or she will insist I need one too. (Most of her clothes and other things are purple. Sometimes I'm surprised my hair is not dyed purple when I wake up.)
