You don't happen to have the original pups for this do you?

From the looks of those routes, it appears that it had the same pups my '84 Ibby Musician has: a jumbo P style pup w/ adjustable poles housed in a rectangular shell, and a J humbucker w/ the same kind of poles in a soapbar sized shell.

Bumpage for a great bass!

These have INCREDIBLE necks on them! If you're looking for what the original pickups are, check out my thread, where I let the kids paint one that I salvaged. It's not the P style, but a true Jazz style humbucker.

one thing its kind of weird is the position of the straplock on the base plate....it kind of hangs on my body sort of uncomfortably....but those EMG pick ups sound great and i will custom make me pickguard and decided to keep the bass for now....
Robert that is interesting paint job
