They're humbucker with only to poles per line exposed, the other two are under the cover

REEEEalllly?  That is interesting.  I may have another look at them for the bridge pickup.  IIRC, they're not very expensive.

Yes, it makes more sense when I see what the goal is - just would have done the routing and filling the P-bass route before the paint job.  But the PG will cover it.

Well that was my plan, routing before paintjob, but I just couldn't stand the looks of that Charcoal Frost body, so I changed, and the PG will be more than big enough  ;)

I would love to hear what you think of that pickup when installed - especially in the bridge position.

I'm living in a hole, because I never saw this lotto model before this thread - but I love the looks of it.  Can't wait to see your clone of it progress!

Seeing it loaded with those jumbo-buckers, I couldn't help but think of this bass:

Does that bass belong to Derek Smalls? I do like the switches.

It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. IIRC it was a custom shop model with a $6K list price. There may have been a very small run.

I would like to hear it too, but first I would wire the four muds in serial. That is, serial killer mode.

if you wired 4 of those in series you could probably plug right in to your speaker box.
