The new neck sits deeper into the socket than planned so I had to move the bridge all the way back to the edge of the bottom of the body in order to make it intonate. This caused the pickups to be stationed closer to the neck than usual, making both of them sound warmer. The bridge pickup now has more girth and punch.
    was that an early 90s jazz bass? 22 fret neck with the extra wood in the upper bout? Looks like it in your photo. I believe people are now calling these "boner" basses because of the extra wood! lol
    I had the same issue fitting a warmoth neck to that body cos the warmoth neck is a regular vintage style 21 fretter and the fender body was built to accommodate a 22 fretter.
    Worked out pretty damn nice tho!

      or you can do it this way:
      The pickups in this bass are double coil humcancelling just like P-bass pickups, but housed in the smaller j-bass style covers.

      This made me laugh!

      I love my hum-cancelling J pickups. It took Fender a few tries, but they finally got it right with this pickup (Super 55).
