That is most likely a very good pup and that far up front, any pup will deliver enough bass. I'd keep it, but slant it inside that cavity - there is enough room - to get better pole piece alignment with the strings.
Congrats, looks great. With matching instruments, I notice that Loes and you are now moving into the June Carter/Johnny Cash mould. The family that plays together lives together. Any kids scheduled?
