can anyone recommend jazzmaster voiced pickups that fit a humbucker shape/route?

P100s are similar, but isn't the Jazzmaster sound down to the floating bridge as well as the pups?

Yeah, without the plinky-plonk/sparse sustain of the rocking bridge section (or a Stang bridge if you can't hang with the saddles) you're not going to be reminded much of an old-school Jazzmaster even if you use actual JM pickups. I would go the Mascis/CP route and just use HB size P90-ish pickups. The GFS Dream 90s are a gentler sounding HB size single coil which I enjoyed very much in the neck of an SG I was trying to make sound like my Jag (not that it was a dead ringer, just a good enough neck sc sound to remind me of a Fender in that position).

If its something you are interested in, I can make humbucker sized single coil using a jazzmaster-style bobbin.
