Hugh971 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I'm looking for some new pickups for my cheapo Harley Benton Jazz Bass to replace the Wilkinson pickups. I like the jazz sound but also like a more modern twist. I'd like, if possible, something hum cancelling but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the single coil sound to get that. I've already shielded the cavities. I've been looking at [url="http://www.bartolini.net/product/9cbjd-l1/"]these Bartolini 9CBJD-L1 pickups[/url]. Has anyone tried these or any other Bartolini jazz pickups, what are your views? Any other suggestions are welcome too.

zero9 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I don't have experience with Bartolinis but can recommend EMG's. I'm using a set of EMG JVX, which are totally noise free but still have IMO a single coil sound. They're easy to fit and don't require shielding or grounding, but do require a battery.

Lozz196 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Seymour Duncan Hot Stacks - they sound very much like regular Jazz pickups, just a bit more of everything, and are nicely hum-cancelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
