  1. unless its a pickup with super strong magnets, it wont matter too much. the biggest problem with putting a neck pup in some guitars, eg.a les paul jr, is that it can cut into the neck tenon, weakening the joint. but thats only with set necks. if its a bolt on, it should make balls all difference
  2. to say there are no pros to a single pup guitar is false, i think. what about a les paul junior compared to a special? same body, but the neck pup cuts through the neck tenon on the special, and they sound different. it wouldnt be so significant on a bolt on neck guitar. the electronics could be tailored to the specific pup, instead of a compromise between multiple pups. also, playing wise, it the single pup scenario forces you to be creative with what youve got. i personally like the idea of a single pup guitar and will be building a mahogany bodied, set neck esquire, once i get tooled up and ready.
  3. if you havent already made up your mind, i would recommend dimarzio ultrajazz. i use them in my trusty old monterey jazz bass (laugh all you want) and i love them. theyve got a punchy, warm vintage sort of tone. neck pup is almost pbass in the fatness stakes and the bridge is a nice, refined jaco impression. best of all, theyre noiseless. i play in a cover band, and these seem to keep up with the dynamic range of music we play. try them if youre after a set of decent passive pups.
