  1. I have a Hofner Contemporary Series violin bass. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HCT5001BLK I want to put SD mini-bucker pickups on it, as per this blog. https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/the-tone-garage/sd-mini-humbuckers-and-the-hofner-beatle-bass However, I've run into two problems. (Shown in linked pics) https://imgur.com/gallery/GzI04 1) The stock pups are mounted in plastic casing. However, the original mounting holes are closer together than the holes on the brackets of my new SD pups. Even if I drilled new holes (which I'd rather not), I would still have a gap beneath the pickup because the brackets almost act as risers as well. 2) I can't just put the new pickup into the original plastic casing due to the new pickups metal brackets getting in the way. If those brackets weren't there, I could just drop the new pickup into the old plastic casing and call it a day. Any ideas? I'm open to literally anything, so any help is appreciated!
