Tokai Jazz Bass Pickup Cavities

[BigLicks67]

Anyone had any experience changing the pickups on a MIJ Tokai Jazz Sound Bass, are the pickup cavities the same size as a Fender?
The reason I ask is that I changed the pickups to a generic set a while ago and found the neck pickup did not sit very well in the cavity and was a bit of a job to get it to fit. Now I'm thinking of upgrading to a better set and don't want the same problem.

Many thanks in advance for your learned replies.

Sometimes the trick is to swap the old Tokai pickup cover with the new pickup. You may then find the new pickup fits.

Okay thanks, I'll dig out the old pickups and try that.
