Were the new pups and bridge "plug and play?" How much extra work was involved?

The EMGs wiring was plug and play, except that I had to extend the P pups coax to make it into the box. The J pup was about 1/8" too long and I had to do some trimming. The Babicz could only use one of the pre-drilled holes.

Did a little sweating, but it was worth it.
 
Yes I used a Dremel with a cutting disc and cut it to fit over/ around the babicz, was quite easy to do and took about 15 minutes. I wouldn't do it to an original unmolested bass but this bass is completely modded, 1968 tele neck, early 70s p bass body with jazz pickup added, babicz bridge, schaller tuners with Hipshot drop tuner, sadowsky pickups and the rest are fender replacement parts.

Nice work.

A bass you can be proud of.

I'm a huge fan of white basses, and black basses... they're the most "attractive" to me lol. I'd like to see some pics of your white basses :bassist:

About to put an EMG JVX pickup set in it. A very nice, lively, bright 4 string from Fender Japan. The workmanship's superb on these.

Cheers,
