I have a new Jaco Tribute Jazz Bass and it came without the external grounding strip installed (i.e., the copper strip between the bridge and bridge pickup). I believe that this is only a cosmetic option and I am thinking about installing it in order to get that old-school look. Anyway, there are no instructions included with the bass on how to install and I can't find any instructions online. How do I install the external grounding strip? Does it require soldering to the pickup? Thanks in advance...

If you look under the bridge it may aleady have a small ground wire.The ground strip is just cosmetic in some cases.

If you need the ground strip, it must be soldered to the grounding plate beneath the bridge pickup. The other end of the strip is to be placed under the bridge in order to complete the grounding.

Good luck with it.
