I was pondering this question yesterday and wonder your opinion on the matter, I thought it wouldn’t change the sound but, pttf, what do I know huh.

How would j-bass pickups sound if instead of series wiring, you wired it like a Rickenbacker?

If you are good with wiring I think you should record it like it is, then change it and record again. Aferwards you can decide which you like better. Or better yet, post a blind voting thread with samples and you'll have pages of expert arguments as to which is which!

Huh, nice idea, thanks for the suggestion dude.
A stock Jazz Bass is wired in parallel. They can be wired in series if you want to do that. I have no idea how a Rick's two pickups are wired.
Sorry, mess up on words there, thanks for correcting me. Also, this is what stock ricky wiring looks like.
