I have a 5 string J-Bass guitar, and I was thinking of replacing the bridge pickup. However I'm not sure whether the idea I've got would work, or whether it would be worth it. I have found a passive pickup replacement which is a Soap Bar shape. I've heard that Soap Bar pickups are known for their warmth and punch and thought that if I routed out the body and replaced the bridge J-bass pickup with the soap bar one. Question is, would it be worth it or even work at all? The dials at the moment are 2 volume controls (one per pickup) and a tone control.
