I installed brass inserts in the body cavity to accept mounting screws for either P-Style or J-style neck pickups, and have pickguards to match either (or will have; I haven't finished the J-style guard yet).
And my pickups are connectorized.
I can convert from PJ to JJ in about 10 minutes time.
That is very clever. I would love to see pics of the conversion!
Once I get the J-guard cut, I'll post up.
I bought a standard J-guard originally to match the Warmoth P-guard, but the required reroute for the P's extended the cavity too far down - - it would leave a gap.
Have material, have tools, have a plan ready... just short on tuits.
Pics of the cavity setup are on my phone - I will add below this post in a sec.

Today this is the mama bear. Oiled, frets polished, restrung...just right.
I just got this bass delivered today. Early b-day present for myself along with a Peavey Combo 300 (hasn't arrived yet) using the cash I got selling my Peavey 3120 tube head.
A barely used MIK Epiphone Les Paul Standard bass with a flamed sunburst top.

NBD - '83 B.C. Rich Bich. This thing is insane! Before I start adding more knobs and switches though, I'll need to figure out what all of these do. 
It does seem to provide an...implausible...number of options, given that there are only two sets of pickups!NBD - '83 B.C. Rich Bich. This thing is insane! Before I start adding more knobs and switches though, I'll need to figure out what all of these do.

My latest addition Guild Starfire II.
You can find that out all over the BC Rich club. It's not complicated.
Meanwhile, that is a real besuty!!! Great grab. Good luck with it!

I have a theory…. active / passive. The two pups serial / parallel. A kill switch. And then a frequency selector for each of what appears to be 2 active mid pots.
