My Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar SS Project!

Hey guys I'm working on a bass to test out my DIY skillz!

Here is a link for pictures of my progress.

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150376526675695.407290.584110694&l=32b51e40db&type=1

Parts/ to do list:

Squier Jaguar SS bass [check]
Babicz 4 string black bridge [check]
Tele deluxe knobs [check]
Refinish (yellow) [in progress]
New pick ups (Seymour Duncan or Lace Aluma possibly ?)
Custom wiring ideas ??? (3 way switch selector ? split cild for p-bass pick up ?? )

Currently the bass is being stripped down form its polyester paint and im looking into new pickups but im unsure as what to get since i usually dont like P-basses. i'm more of a jazz bass kinda guy. Can i get any help or suggestion on pick ups ?

I'm not very good at describing sound so here is some examples of the tone/sound that i'm looking for:

Radiohead- bloom
radiohead- bloom - YouTube

Girls- Lust For Life.
Girls - Lust For Life [Don't Look Down] - YouTube


feed back will greatly be appreciated and i'll keep your guys posted on the progress of the bass.... i'll find a better way to put pictures here soon but i gotta run to work !

thanks guys !
