Installing replacement jazz bass pickups

[Wylie]

Does any BCer know of a good step-by-step instructional video or set of instructions for replacing jazz bass pickups?

I searched the site, hoping to find instruction on a par with the excellent [i]How to Shim a Neck[/i] tutorial, but no luck; but of course I could have overlooked it (and the Wiki is apparently not in service).

Thanks.

Normal passive Jazz pups? How many wires? two or three?

Yes, passive pickups. I don't know how many wires. What I have in mind to buy are Basslines SJB-2 pickups.

i think the SJB's come with some instructions and a wiring diagram? I got the Seymour duncan P bass Quarter pounder pups and they came with fitting instructions and a simple wiring diagram that was easy to follow. I soldered em in 5 minutes, still working!

Hey Ted,

I'm doing a single coil P at the mo. Wiring diagrams for all are on the Seymour Duncan site. This is the one for the SJB:
