Mark Hoppus pickguard question

[ChickenKiev]

I am planning on doing a little modding on my current mexican Jazz bass. I play metal and hardcore in my band and I need a workhorse to be going on with until I can afford something really tasty. Also, with these tough economic times, I'm a little bit skint so I'm not looking for a refinish job pr anything too major. My mod ideas were as follows:

Swap the neck pickup for a Precision pickup (possibly a sexy EMG PX) and gutting the bridge pickup. I was possibly going to just leave the 'open wound' from the bridge pickup too as, like I said before, money is just too tight to sort that out at the minute.

I was then looking into a Mark Hoppus pickguard. I love the fact that it just has a volume control, but I understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea, bit I'm personally a fan.

Okay so my question is if a Mark Hoppus pickguard would have NO CHANCE of fitting on a mex Jazz Bass? I mean if I have to drill some new screw holes then so be it, but will it fit at all?

How many times have you seen this topic?

you converting to a Jazz to a P/J Bass
If so then it should all fit .. yes you got to expand the Neck Pickup to fit a P-Bass Pickups.
I think that the Top Pickup in the P-Bass is about in line with the Jazz Pickup placing

But I want to know if a Mark Hoppus pickguard will fit on a mex Jass bass..

I would think it would fit - as far as i know the Mark Hoppus is a standard Jazz size/shape body.

Anybody know differently?
