How would you deal with the big gash of a bridge pup cavity? Maple cap?

[godofthunder]

I think the sensible thing to do is stick another muddy in there. I don't see the point of doing a full blow restoration. She's a player.

Absolutely.  Same idea as my '64 EB-0 with one Dimarzio and one mudbucker...but you're gonna need to fill in a bit around the second pickup...

  Pilgrim I dig that Bass!

[Pilgrim]

I got it with a headstock break and the Dimarzio, with a hole in the body where the mudbucker useta be. Dr. Bassman kindly sold me the Gibson pickup and I found the cover on Ebay. I wired up both pickups with volume-only controls, because I figured (correctly, so far) that I would never need to roll the treble OFF either one of those pickups.  

It had a Badass bridge on it when I got it - but the original bridge was still in the case!!  I cheerfully re-installed it and sold the BA on Ebay.

I sold you that mudbucker (but doc had sold it to me a few years earlier).

My error!  Sincere apologies.  Perhaps I flashed back to how it reached you.  Mea culpa.

Severe attacks of CRS are not infrequent here....

What was the question?  

I was just playing that bass, and the Dimarzio is a more slightly conventional sound than the Gibson pickup.  With both turned up it's pretty powerful.

[Granny Gremlin]

Oh man, that's  tempting (until it gets bid up some more; have a feeling that will really lift off towards the end).

Another idea: pair of darkstars (or whatever the current Haggis reissue is).

[Bionic-Joe]

I just got outbid!!! I want to make it into a Gene Simmons Bass!!!!!

Already more than I'd be willing to pay.
