Advice needed - 70s P neck on a new Aerodyne body?

Nice way to assure there's another project in your near future!

Oh, there always is.
For years I've been thinking of building an active P around a 1980 Fender Precision Special PCB that I bought NOS many years ago. Back in the 80's I loved the P Specials and even owned one (LPB/rosewood) for a very brief period, but they were all boat anchors, 11 lbs. basses. Plus I have always disliked the matching headstock, gold plated hardware and high-mass bridge. So a lightweight P with that PCB would be nice. I could never install it in a vintage body because it requires additional routing for a battery compartment and under the guard for a 3rd pot.

Still waiting for the P pickup, this is what it looks like now.

Fully assembled

I'll bet that sounds nice. I've been digging the P pup lately since I got my Hamer Blitz. Hasn't been my "go to" sound since the early 80s (John Wetton inspired), but it's nice to have in the arsenal.
