hi ive got a fotoflame mij serail u013193 , i think the pick up has come to the end of its life,i got replacemnt but was to big for the route in the body and pick guard, i dont want t carve the body out to fit a pick up, so which one will fit without any alteration to the body.... i do like the sd sjb3 bassline pickup .

If you have a Foto-flame p-bass, Any P-bass pickup will fit. The Foto flame is just for appearance.
If you have a Jazz bass, any set of J-bass pickups will fit.

If you are buying non-standard sized pickups , then you will have to alter body routes and pick-guards to use them.
This is not worth it, in my opinion.

Any reputable music store will have a pickup(s) that will fit your bass W/O altering it.

Have you bass checked by a good repair person. It my not be the pickup that is bad.

Sounds like you are trying to put a bridge pickup into a neck route if it's a Jazz. The bridge pickup on a Jazz is bigger than the neck pickup.
