As title. Here is a link to an identical bass to mine, my first proper bass.

It's an early Rockbass Fortress. It's very comfortable and I love the shape and neck. But it also now has a few technical issues and there are some things I've decided I don't like anyway, so I'm giving it a bit of a makeover. It currently has active MEC pickups and some sort of onboard eq that has started to play up intermittently, so all of those are going to be replaced.
I have bought a Glockenklang preamp and am sorted for the P pickup. While deliberating about the Jazz pickup, I started thinking about something a bit more radical. Do you think a Stingray type humbucker would work in place of the Jazz pickup, or would it end up too close to the bridge if I keep the P pickup in the same place?
Any thoughts welcomed. This might be a very stupid idea.
