Jack Casady 20th Anniversary Red Wine Flame Maple

It seems there are more short scale basses designed with character in mind than long scale. I saw one the other day with a taxi-cab checkerboard on the sides. It seems that when long scale is the target, the design has to be 'serious'. And I hate coffee table basses.*



*End of rant.
The yellow w/checkerboard is a Dean 'Cabbie' - hard to find, never played one
 
I'm very happy with the sound of the pickup in the Jack bass, but has anyone heard of this replacement pickup from an Italian luthier?

I've seen that page before, I tried contacting them and didn't get any response - I was hoping they had some spare original JC pickups. ;)

Haven't got it yet, but I've ordered one for my Peerless Bassmaster (basically the same as the Epi JC). It's actually made by MAMA, a well-regarded Italian purveyor of magnetic pickups:

Keep us posted on how it sounds...would be really interested! I'm guessing you'd have to strip out all the electrics eg. transformer, pots etc?
