Will you guys upgrade the pickups during a bass purchase and issue a credit for the stock ones? I'm looking at putting Nordstrands in a Fender American Std Jazz V.

Unfortunately we can't issue a credit for "take-off" pickups. If you buy a bass and pickups we can do the install here before it ships, but we will simply include the original pickups with the order. There will likely be an installation fee as well.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do with a set of stock pickups on most instruments, but you might be able to sell them on eBay to recoup some $$ for them.

Give us a call and we'll see what we can do to help you out!

Peace!
