I love the modification on that old P-bass.
Triple pickup setup,....very Fender URGE.
You might want look into a Hipshot Kickass bridge with side-to-side adjustment saddles to insure that the strings are centered correctly over the pole pieces for all three pickups. The Hipshot already looks very similar to the current bridge that is on it. The Hipshot will help your bass to look more set-up correct and might even play better with the correct spacing. You'll be able to move the 'D' and 'G' string down a few millimeters.
Just a thought,....great looking bass!

AudioKinesis Thunderchild TC112AF, Passinwind PW8B 500 watt amp. Bought the cab in 2011 and built the amp a few years later. Down to just two four string fretless BGs these days, but the amp rig is great for my acoustic guitar and Dojo as well.

The Swiss Army Knife of basses.
 
Just bought a Joyo BA-30 Vibe Cube for practice.

Bluetooth in from phone or laptop for play along tracks.
Grado open back headphones for quiet time.
Joyo wireless instead of a normal cord for one less tangle.
The speaker sounds decent at low volume , and it sits on my desk with very small footprint , and it is lightweight.

Before this I had a Roland Micro bass cube, but I sold it after the rotary switch broke.

Since then I had been using a GK MB150s or a Zoom B3 as an interface into GarageBand.

The B3 is suprisingly handy. I wish it had aux in, but I need a source for play along tracks anyways and it gets power via usb so that simplifies that part a little.

I've got my Jaydee Mark King S2 bass,
my Korg Bass Pandora, Boss CS-3 pedal, and my Harley Benton Bass D.I. Expander pre-amp, and some Audio-Technica headphones. The AUX on the Korg is connected to my Samsung phone to jam along to tracks on YouTube.

Been using this light, low cost rig lately for fun and prep for Sundays church gig. My girl stands on the cab and watches me play.
