Fender Jazz bass mods.

[Bassplayer4God]

So im thinken about buying a Fender Jazz bass. Probably just a standard bc im short on cash but put a Leo Quan BAII bridge on it then maybe some new pickups. Which jazz pickups would yall recommend or are the stock pickups that come in it good?

Thanks

Try the stock pickups and see if you like them. If not, I my Nordstrand NJ4's.

I would leave the standard pickups and use a Gotoh 2001 bridge.

Switch out the pots before you switch out the pickups.

+1 on the 201. I've had the BAII as well, and prefer the Gotoh.

I love your NJ4s too.

All of MIMs that I've worked on had CTS pots. No need to switch out those.

If you can find one, grab a new highway 1 jazz bass. They come with a bad ass II bridge, stock.

How do some of these new modified Squire jazz basses compare to the MIM basses? Then if theres a big difference what could be added to the Squires to make them sound like the MIM's bc some of these Squire's look really nice!

The new Squire VMs (Vintage modified) are great. They are a good back-for-the-buck bass.
