Does it qualify as NBD?

Does it count as NBD if a single change to a bass you've had for 25 years transforms the sound and makes you fall in love with it again?!

 

I just swapped the pickups in my MIM fretless Jazz bass from stock to CS60s, and... Holy moly!

Picture doesn't do justice to the colour. It's a lot "creamier" than the off-white it looks here.

NPD (New Pickup(s) Day) maybe?

 

Anyway, congratulations.

 

I've personally made a NOBD (New Old Bass Day) thread before, with a rediscovered bass I'd already owned for years.

 

Thanks! Its good to appreciate the old ones, even if they need some sprucing up from time to time.

 

NPUD has a certain ring to it.

Those CS60 pickups, be they Jazz or Precision are great, really transform a bass.

That's the trouble... its got me looking at my Precision too. Though I'm generally happy with the tone I get from it I wonder what it could sound like 🧐
