I like the looks of those, but that price is going to put them up in Fender Custom Shop/Lakland territory and a pair of Jazz Bass pickups just isn't going to cut it unless those pickups have a sound that is nothing like their looks. Bach with Artec has demonstrated that new pickup designs on mass produced basses aren't the teeth pulling experience that most bass manufacturers seem to think they are. I'm thinking something like a better version of the Artec Mudbucker and a mini-bucker in the bridge would really set it apart and help it sell. Take away the headstock and visually, it's just another high-priced Jazz Bass copy. Hagstroms were famous for their funky pickups, most of which didn't really sound that good anyway (at least among the vintage Hagstroms I've played) so there are in a unique position to use this bass as vehicle to bring something like that back, but in an improved form.
