What I have is a Rio Grande Vintage split coil. I wouldn't trade the sound it makes for the world. What I want is to be able to switch between motown thump and modern grind with the same bass.

you could get that "modern grind" with the P by itself just by kicking on a sansamp bass driver.

Another good idea. Im not sure the J is going to do what you are hoping for.

The driver is more expensive than any of the pickups I'm looking at. I'm also kinda looking for an excuse to tinker and modify.
