Adjusting pole pieces same as adjusting pickup height?

I've got a set of Dimarzio DP123 (Model J) installed on my bass for many years now and I have never adjusted the pole pieces on my pickup. Recently I wanted to experiment this to get more precise tone on my Fender Jazz.

Adjusting the pole pieces is the same as adjusting the pickup height? or they are different?

Yep what he said. Used to set up my les pauls like that to try to follow the radius of the finger board. The slots in the screw heads looked a bit like this
I -- I I -- I or
-- I -- -- I --

Thats looking down from the top. Basicly to the E's were the same height in the pick up body and then half a turn out for A & B and the D & G were highest. Just fiddle about to get the heights and sound you needs. It was easy on a humbucker with screw poles, but not on a sigle coil etc.
