Yes but....
The aerodyne is such a nice bass!
There is thousands of jazz alike bass you can get for peanuts! And some excellent ones!!!
Why butcher yours!
And why renounce to the precision tone?
Soon you'll be on the search for a P-bass!
Don't we almost all enjoy both j and p?
And last: Fender Japan made for the japanese market, aerodynes with jazz two single coils configuration. Look for one of those and you'll have the matching pair!!!
This, from the guy that talked me into buying a pair of black chrome Robert Trujillo EMGs.I currently have 5 Basses with the P/J setup but the bridge pickups are disconnected. I've never liked bridge pickups in any of my Basses over the years. I've never really liked traditional humbuckers in Basses either as they sound muddy. IMO, Leo got the split P pickup right when he put it in the Precision Bass. It's a noiseless sigle coil that is on so many famous recordings. I love that full tight tone.
I had never owned a Jazz Bass until a year and a half ago, I got a Geddy Lee. I ordered a EMG JVX Set that sound like Passive's on steroids. They are very dynamic like a passive pickups but have the extended lows and highs. I left the bridge wired up but don't use it much at all. Yep, my Jazz bass pretty much sounds like a P Bass, LOL.
Seems everyone likes what they like as far as tone and it seems and I think it has a lot to do with what you are use to. Thank God there's so many choices to choose from on the market today.
If you like the sound of a Jazz Bass using both pickups and that makes your boat float better, than by all means, stick that jazz pickup in the sweet spot.

I never connected the bridge one
, My JVX Set bridge is connected but, doesn't get turned up.
I've seen this bass on Patrick Hunter's YouTube channel. Am I right? That's a beauty.
If you’re taking requests there are zero reviews of the new Sterling sub HH. Just, you know, putting it out there
Really like what you are doing content wise! The Bullythakid collaboration was great.
. Bully and I have become great friends, same with Rumblinman. Also talking with Patrick Hunter and he's a really cool guy as well and consider him a friend. Honestly, the whole bass youtube community has been really awesome both with other content creators and viewers. Getting a lot of great and positive feedback, getting tons of excellent questions and suggestions, and the viewers are really driving the content I make which I like. I dawned the sails, but it's the viewers who provide the wind and direction. It's been a really great journey over the past two months, and I'm really thankful for all of it. Here's to many more to come
Thanks! That's a great idea
