Squire Bronco bass upgrade

I modded mine with a Fender Fidelitron pickup...

View attachment 4172434

Super interesting. I've been wondering if a TV Jones pickup would fit into these basses without any routing, and the Fidelitron looks to be very similar in size. Did you need to rout the pickup cavity to make this mod?

Has anyone popped a TV Jones pickup into a Bronco? How'd you do it? Was the finished product a winner?

It’s a large humbucker sized cavity from the factory under the pickguard. No routing needed at all.
