When I saw the pictures of the chisel touching the guitar, I was saying to myself, "Oh no! don't do it!!" Then the picture of the finished product come up on the screen, I had to push pause, and study it. It was excellent work couldn't tell the difference from the factory cut-out and yours. Well done.

Swell! Those were fine instruments in the first place. My favorite Squier bass! Surprisingly maybe to you, you were not the first to add a second pickup to this first-generation P-Bass design. I've ran across several old Fender first-generation basses with a second pickup added, usually it is a Jazz pickup though. Yours is the first mod with the Jag switches I've seen though as some had mini-toggles. Neat job. Unique and I bet it is way more versatile.
