bass modification help

[Low_End_IIA_Vic]

i've got a squier vintage modified jazz bass that i really want to modify.

i'm trying to add a thunderbird humbucker to the neck and move the original neck PUP neck to the bridge PU so i can make a block pickup.

is it possible to have three pickups on a standard jazz electronics route? will it mess up my bass to route in two pickups?

well, when you move the original neck pickup to the neck you won't be able to put the pickups right next to each other. You better buy a twin jazz pickup and put your humbucker on the neck.

my bass doesn't have two necks..

I did not say your bass have 2 neck.

Let me clarify something:

1) You want 3 pickups on your jazz bass
2) You want to remove the neck pickup on your jazz bass and install a thunder bird humbucker pickup in that position
3) Then you want to install the original neck pickup to the bridge so you have 2 jazz pickup near the bridge right?

Yes you can do that, some routing etc. Not much of a problem.
I personally would take the 2 single coil jazz pickup out and installed a Twin Jazz pickup near the bridge (like the warwick infinity bass). Then add the thunder bird humbucker on the jazz neck pickup position.
