SBMM JP150 Mod Questions and request for opinions

Greetings all,

I have purchased a Sterling by Music Man JP150. This is my first Sterling/Music Man purchase and I’m just blown away by the quality and playability. That being said, I’m also a bit of a tinkerer and can’t leave well enough alone a lot of the time.

My thinking was that a set of Illuminators in this thing would make it sound that much better and get me closer to the JP15. I also though it would be cool to coil-split this thing for some spanky tones and giving me more tonal options.

What say ye?

——————————————————–

OK, now question time.

1) Can I coil-split with the Illuminators?
2) Can I coil-split with the existing JP150 hardware or will I need a different pot?
3) Would coil-split have to be wired to volume pot or can the tone pot be used? ( I REALLY like the fast action of the current pots, so I would hate to lose that…at least in the volume knob)
4) Is the JP150 setup for regular spaced or F-spaced pickups in the bridge?

I know that’s a lot, but I figured this would be the best place to get the info I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance for any and all input.
