where is the best spot to mount a J pup on a P?

Should it be mounted in the standard modern jazz bridge position or closer to the bridge? I think I read that Mike Lull mounts his closer to the bridge on his P/J basses...

Anyone know why or have good advice???

Depends on how you want it to sound. the closer to the bridge it goes, the brighter it will sound.

Well yeah, but isn't there phase issues when using a J with a P? I think I read that somewhere....

It's called a P-special and there are only thousands and thousands of them out there. Not a problem. Find some in music stores and you can get measurements from them.
