NBD...first jazz bass

So I picked up this 2001 MIM Jazz V off of Craigslist yesterday. Its heavy...but tone is good and action is very nice. Seller said its been sitting in his closet for a few years and after a good cleaning that appears to be the case. Always liked the midnight blue color, just need to get some "top hat" knobs to replace the Strat style ones (not a fan) but overall not bad for $250...

Yeah, looking into pick guards as well. White pearl maybe? Suggestions? Found a receipt in the gig bag for installing a switchcraft jack and a 250k pot a year ago. Was thinking Seymour Duncan SJ5's in the future, but it sounds pretty good as is for now.
