Lets see some mm style humbuckers with other pickups

My Harley Benton Enhanced basses:

Im very impressed with it. It still has the stock humbucker and its passive. Adding the J the way I did was after testing it on another bass i have for testing pickup configurations. I can move them around in a huge cavity I routed out. I was surprised that angle for the J was the way to go (its a bridge Wilkinson that I had lying around). I thought it was going to be the other way.
The added J thickened up the humbucker like I hoped it would. I added a series/parallel switch for the humbucker, it sounds great both ways…. Otherwise it's volume volume tone for the pots.
I dig it, im thinking of doing a Harley Benton music man knockoff that I have and adding an Audere pre amp, that should be pretty cool!

Thanks for the reply, and adding an Audere pre amp was exactly what I was thinking. I've never done quite this kind of a modification, but this may be a first for me. If you every post clips of the bass please let me know. Really enjoying this thread.

I'm getting ready to drop this pickup in my p bass. Getting it routed on Friday. I'm pretty stoked! I'm hoping this pickup sounds good passive. I wanted to go with a simple 2 stacked vol/tone config if I can.

Fender Jino Signature Jazz Bass

I'm planning on making my own variation on this theme;

1. J/MM/J pickup configuration
2. Jaguar-style set of ON/OFF switches for each pickup
3. Retrovibe '77 Stinger, a reproduction of the pre-Ernie Ball Stingray preamp

My glarry that I went a bit overboard modding. Pretty awesome and lightweight.
Ive been letting the high school music group use it…. They love it!! You can tell where one of the kids prefers to pick when he plays
