    newc will probably give me hell but a set of emgs work well or add a j2000 electronic set to the pups you have.i have some of the electronics if you want to go that way.

      Your routing kindof limits you man.

      I always stick with Warwick MEC pickups. those won't fit your bass though.

      What kindof music do you play? you can never go wrong with some EMGs or Dimarzios in your bass.

      I'm not sure what your pot configuration is limited to either.

          I always have liked the EMGs. They are fat and punchy. Heres a link to the bass I have.

          I need a decent case as well.

                I've never tried EMG bass pickups, but I'm not a diehard guitar pickup fan.

                I would like to have a stack of various pickups to try out - Bartolinis, Duncan, DiMarzio, Fender, EMG, etc etc.
                But like Peabuddy said - throw a J2000 board in it and you'd be surprised how much better it makes Jackson pickups sound.
