I have a 2005 MIM Jazz Bass and am thinking of putting in a set of Original Jazz Bass pickups in it. I've heard that the neck pickup slot may not have the right demensions. Any input?

Ya..... I remember something like that. I have a '97 MIM Jazz and a couple years back I had someone install Original Vintage '62 Jazz Bass Pickups in it and they are great, I love them. But if I remember correctly he had to used the stock plastic p/up covers and had to file, ever so lightly, to make each hole large enough for the actual p/up to fit in them. Looks great, can't tell, it doesn't look Frankensteinish, or anything like that. But it was because the plastic vintage covers that I wanted installed were slightly bigger than the stock ones. Hope this helps you.

you should try and measure the actual pickup dimensions.. some early mexican standard pickups have the same length on both neck and bridge.. then later in the 2000's they have different length..
