Shimming is a bad idea, as the pickup will not be adjustable.
It's best to do it bass pickup style, with a piece of foam under the pickup, to push it up.

Humbuckers should be adjustable. You don't want it screwed down to the bottom of the cavity, there should be foam and/or springs under it to let you adjust it up or down. Even if the cavity was to the perfect depth, I would route it deeper and prop the pickup up with foam so that I could adjust it with action changes and such.
slow down and use more lube (and larger pilot holes)Rickgrxbass said:...On a tangentially related note, I just re-affirmed that I am completely incapable of not stripping out Jazz bass pickup screws...
