hey i recently came into a fender classic 50s reissue mim and it came with fender scn noiseless pickups. now i also have a set of van zandt true vintage pickups that i have laying around. i was wondering what would give me a better overall tone and more close to a david gilmour tone. the van zandt a over double to price and they do sound pretty decent from what i remember but they have much less output, VZ -6, 5.8,5.8 kohms(NMB) and the Fender -6.5,6.5.11.6 kohms (NMB)

one thing that concerns me with the G&L is its neck profile. i heard it was alot fatter than a strat neck.

So i am getting ready to equip my 86 fender pbass with some vintage pickups (72′s and out of a 72 pbass ) and i was told by the people that are going to install them for me (professionally done) that i should replace my plastic pots as well.so my question is are the pots from a guitar (tone, volume pickup selector) the same as for a bass? ive been looking around online and cant find the answer. any ideas?
