a real "mexican wonder"

i want a couple of jazz basses made the way i want them made but i don't want to spend alot. i want to spend less than $1000 per bass and build 2 of them. only rule, they must be jazz bass' with 21frets (need that high e) i am gonna buy mexican fender jazz bass'. i already know that i'm gonna need new necks because they only have 19 frets. i really want those new fender necks with the carbon fiber reinforcements. also want really good tuning keys. i already know what bridges i'm gonna use and strings (dr fat beams) but i need help with electronics and pickups. i love the sound of the new victor bailey and i also love that vintage jazz growl. i want a real simple set up, just volume and tone, or mabey like the aguilar on board preamp, just bass and treble. i can shape the mids on my preamp no problem. remember i'm not looking for a deluxe jazz bass. (although i want the deluxe neck)i'm thinking mabye basslines or some new fender "noiseless" pickups. any and all help would be apreciated. these will be my first bass' that i built my self so any pointers on the hardware, what to look out for, and proper steps to take during construction would help. thank you for everything in the past guys, and thanks for your continuing help in the future.

right, $2000 total.

thanks

 

i gig alot. i like consistent tone. one's a backup. not a stupid question by the way.

 

yea, i saw their ad in bass player mag. thanks, i'll go check them out. after all it doesn't have to be fender. and i know i can probably buy what i'm looking for used, but i don't know, i think it's kinda cool to build my own with my favorite parts and i would like a swamp ash body. (light weight). some MIM fenders are heavy and i play some 2 and 3 hour gigs.
