Wylie Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Just had a pair of DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups put in my Squier '77 jazz, and the difference is unbelievable: fat, strong, and even tonalities all over the fretboard. The G string seems suddenly to have woken up. With the Duncan-Designed I'd had a generally weak response, with a good many 'hollow' notes on the E string--the note would be there, but with no punch. No such worries now. The increased presence of this bass is amazing, and for most gigs I will be rolling the volume back considerably; no more need to compensate for lack of punch. Highly recommended. As someone noted on another thread, the DiMarzios are also a bargain: mine listed at $160, I paid $95 from Musician's Friend. tg Quote

Wylie Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Definitely not me! I hope never to play that way, or wear that outfit :-) Edited November 4, 2011 by tedgilley Quote
gilmour Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I've got them in my Iceni Funkmeister coupled with an East J Retro - sounds awesome Quote
paul_5 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I put a pir of the 5-string Ultra Jazz pups on an old squier a few years ago and the difference was like night and day. They cost me £250 way back when, but they were worth every penny. Toying with getting another set for my current 5 string Jazz... Quote
Doddy Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I've got a set in my main Jazz Bass. When coupled with the Sadowsky pre amp,it sounds great. Quote

[/quote] Are they supplied with simmet and boxers included as this has a very Rab C Nesbitt appeal that could be a crowd puller for Scottish gigs. NB I am a Scot and therefore cannot be construed as racist me thinks Dave Edited November 13, 2011 by dmccombe7 Quote
Wylie Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 They indeed come with all that, but it costs extra. tg Quote
