Nice :-)
It may be a 150, as the 150s I've seen have the cups on the top like this one. -

Hi Joe,
Welcome to Basschat

Do I need another Trace head type bump

You can find your bass on the Warwick site under Pro Series discontinued models, along with the schematic I linked previously.If all the electrics, apart from the pickups, are Glockenklang, then the Warwick wiring isn't relevant to your bass.
Warwick usually wire their basses so that the signal comes from the pickups, through the balance pot, onto the PCB on the vol pot, here it is switched either to go through the vol pot to the jack socket(passive mode or more correctly EQ bypass mode) or to the active EQ then back to the vol pot then onto the jack socket. -
I have read that Warwick do not recommend a small string to pickup clearance with their $$ pickups, due to the strong magnetic force
dampening string movement, I wonder if this is the case with your bass, might be worth dropping the pickups to check.
I have a passive Fortress One 4 string and the output on that was very poor, a common issue with that model, I fitted EMGs and an OBP3.

Having looked at a few pics of the Glockenklang preamp, I think they use an MEC stacked pot on their EQ board and that all the electrics in your bass are Glockenklang.
The original balance pot is 220K, so it might be worth checking the value on the blend pot.
Warwick diagram for your bass, not relevant with the current electrics but useful reference.

What is the writing? That will identify the value of the pot and it's taper.
I would assume it is a DPDT switch. -
The Glockenlang site shows blend and vol with the preamp, if your Warwick uses their blend pot, is it the correct value for your pickups?
Are the jack connections correct? Pickup height ok?
Warwick used to use 2KHz and 100 Hz for their 2 band EQ frequencies. -
I read a magazine a while back, possibly Bassist, with a Bronco renovation feature, and they used a guitar pickup with bar magnets.

How do you want to wire it?
series, parallel, to a switch? -

I use EXL 230 55-110 nickels, standard or drop tuned they're great.

Bought an amp from Martin, good comms, accurate discription, would happily buy from him again.
-
Fret at 1st and 12th with string just clearing the 8th fret for relief,
1.5-2.0 mm clearance on G string at 12th fret and 2.0-2.5 mm on E string. -
Can you make some metal pins, possibly screws with the head cut off and a point filed in its place, to screw into the neck holes, then lower the neck into position to mark the neck pocket.
Then drill a pilot hole through from the pocket. -
I purchased an amp from Paul, great communication, as discribed, dispatched quickly, very well packed.
I would deal with Paul again. -
If it is just a 1/4 jack socket, it is probably to switch the preset and the graphic on and off.
There have been a few on eBay recently, they might be still available. -
Here is the standard schematic, it may be of help.
I think the neck pickup C+D is a typo.
