johnnylager Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Hey fellas, any good experience of replacement passive Jazz pups? 2-wire jobbies, so I can put an East in? Or is an East good enough to make even the hushed tones of a Geddy Lee cut through the din ones gitarists insist on creating? Thanks in advance for your help... Quote
Chopthebass Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I've not heard a bad thing about Wizard pickups. £80 for a pair of overwound 84's. These are supposed to be awesome. Chat with Andy there and explain the sound you want, and he'll do you a custom pair. I think they are a great price too. Quote
johnnylager Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks Chop, I was looking at the Wizard site today. I'll give him a bell. Quote

johnnylager Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Mate, it never ends. The next choice will be to stick with me series/parallel switching or get a J-Retro? Thank God I can't afford wateroftyne's '73 Jazz! Love that middle bridge screw hole! Good ol' Fender Quote
mhuk Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 There are also Nordstrand, Delano, Aero, Bill Lawrence, SJB-1.. Quote
aj5string Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Just put some Bartolini's in my Jazz 5 and they sound gorgeous... it all depends on your idea of a perfect sound and technique tho... Quote
johnnylager Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 I concur with the majority - Wizard 84's all the way Quote
mike257 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I've heard rave reviews about the Wizards too. Andy's working his magic (sorry) on a Thumper and an 84 for me this week, I can't wait Quote
Magnolia Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Does anyone have any sound clips of these pickups. A kinda before and after? Im interested in these once i get my jazz on Sunday. Nick Quote
