'51 Precision Bass with 2 pickups?

I had my Tyyster Telecaster modded with a bridge pickup and it was worth it. The neck pickup is a normal Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 and the bridge pickup is a custom made for that location. In series when both are on and sounds great. It sounds a bit like a cross between a Jazz and a Ric even though the pickups are in Jazz locations.

Played some Squire riffs off the top of my head as his modded Tele was my main catalyst for the mod. :)

My Decade is cousins with the SCPB, since the Nordstrand BigRigs (3 of them!) are humbuckers made like 51 pbass pickups. I really like the sound in all 3 positions, they’re great sounding pickups
