most P sounding J PU

[gillento]

I want to replace the "front J PU in my Reverend Rumblefish 5L with a P sounding PU.
I am really into the P sound nowaydays and I don't want to mess up a rare bass like this.

The front PU being in a rather P spot, I think this should work well.
Can anyone recommend the "right" PU?

The J99 neck pickup in my Carvin SB5000 is very P-like. It s the only jazz I've had that sounds best with the neck pickup soloed.

Try out or look for audio of the Dimarzio Model J pickups. I almost installed them in a Squier because I heard they were hotter and had more of a precision based mid punch than other jazz bass pickups. There is a youtube video somewhere of a guy playing an American Fender Jazz comparing these, the stock Fender pickups and pickups from Lace I believe.

What is the routing like under the pick-guard? If there is space you could knock up a replacement using the original as a template then cut a hole for the P without damaging any of the original parts...

Wire the two J pickups in Series.

Overwound split-coil, like A Fralin.
