Members kanoute Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi. I have brushed the dust of my old mij Fender jazzbass when i got the chance to play bass in a band again (guitarist by trade ) I found that i wasn't that pleased with the pickups on it, i don't really know exactly why..but my guess is the pickups are of lesser quality than required. We play a kinda riffy classic rock type of music (Graveyard, Mount Carmel, Zeppelin, Sabbath etc.), you know a bit vintage sound to it. So i need some recommandations what pickups to choose. Ps. I play trough a Ampeg svt3 pro and Svt 810 classic Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P79Master Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 First thought it make sure you bass is setup, especially pickup height. I was in the market for new pickups when I stumbled across the setup thread and realized my PU's were way too low. After raising them, I didn't need knew ones. If you are setup correct, I'm sure someone here has a lot more knowledge than I, but I do recommend Lindy Fralin's ($90) or Nordstrand's ($80).

Members KeroseneTrewthe Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I gotta say Dimarzio Model J's will have a nice midrange growl to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
