They are Q Parts. I have a set on my Geddy lee with red pearl to match the red tortoise shell pickguard.
The blade pickups and Schaller 3D bridge really suit that Jazz.
How fun!
I'm in progress on a build. I'm waiting for the weather to get warmer to work on the finish.
Fender roasted maple Jazz neck
Alder body
Hipshot Kickass bridge
Hipshot ultralight tuners (Korean)
Assorted Fender hardware
Entwistle PBXN pickups
D'Addario Chromes flatwound strings
I'm still working on the setup, but it's very playable as-is. It's definitely got a vintage p-bass thing going on, which is what I'm going for.

Attachments
I'll play. Here's some of my parts basses. I'm quite attached to these projects actually.
AO50s neck, MIJ 70s Classic body, Duncan vintage winds and appropriate Fender bits.
My pretend 59. AO50s neck, 3TSB Fender body, CS59s out of a Dirnt, and requisite Fender bits.
A Dirnt body with a Fender Cabronita neck, tuners and bridge, DiMarzio pickups.
A 60s Classic Jazz body, Highway One (or 1, I never remember, truss at heel one) CS pickups and Fender bits.
A CV51 body with Cabronita neck, tuners, and bridge, a Duncan SCQP, and pearly bits.
A 70s Antigua reissue Jazz neck with dots and a bullet rod, StewMac body, Duncan QPs and Fender bits.
My ghetto Telebass. A VM Precision body, AmStd bridge for string thru and a CV51 neck.
My 58AVRI's stunt double. RW 50s neck and tuners, Fender body and bits, and PV63 pickups.
All are just supermegahappyfuntime players.

Bought this Oak burl body on TB years ago. It was routed for a bolt on neck. When I first strung it up, I couldn’t tune it. The body flexed about 3/4” under string tension. It was too wonderfully weird to give up on, so it sat around until one day, in the Carvin store on Sunset blvd, I saw a finished neck through fretted neck, with a paddle headstock.
Hipshot tuners, some old Bartolini jazz pups, Badass II bridge, and an Audere preamp. After years of being annoyed by the slab corner, a fashioned a forearm contour. It’s a joy.
