Fender Super 55 Jazz pickups anyone?

In my quest to replace the buzzy stock bridge pup on my Squier VM PJ i came across the above.

Ive done searches, both on the net, here and TB, but it doesn't seem that many people are using them.

Most of the comments are positive so ive taken the plunge, but until they arrive i thought id do a bit more research.

So, anyone using them?

I'm curious about these too

Just out of interest, did you have any luck with the Super 55's? I'm looking at maybe grabbing one of them to stick in a project jazz bass. I've heard some pretty mixed reviews - largely that they sound decent but the connector is a pain.

I did get one for my PJ and thought it was really good. It was definitely silent when used on its own, and had quite a vintage single coil vibe.
It was loud enough to use on its own in my PJ, easily keeping up wit the Fralin pup at the neck position.

I ended up selling both pups to get a EMG Geezer butler set, but wish I hadn't.

Hmm, reckon I might give them a shot once I've sold some other bits n bobs. Only problem is that both of the pickups in the bass I'm gonna install them on are neck-width (91mm), so will need to figure out how polarity will work if I'm sticking in two neck pickups...
