gary mac Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Taken from a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. Hardly used as they were removed soon after purchase and have sat in my parts drawer awaiting a project. £22.00 inc postage. Edited December 11, 2011 by gary mac
gary mac Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Yes the stock Seymour Duncan designed pups taken from a Squier VMJ.

[/quote] Oh I see. I'm showing my ignorance here, but are the pickups one of the "Vintage Modifications"? How do they compare with standard Squier pickups?
gary mac Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Yes I suppose they are one of the vintage mods. I don't know how they compare to the standard squier pick ups as that was the only Squier Jazz I have owned. My feeling was that they were good, certainly not thin/weedy sounding as can be the case. I swapped them out not because there was anything wrong with them but rather because I wanted to hear what a set of Wizard pups would sound like. There are a fair few bass chatters who own the Squier VMJ and probably with the stock pups, it might be worth asking for their opinions in the relevant forum. All the best, Gary
Conan Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks a lot for your honesty! And were the Wizards an improvement?
gary mac Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 The wizards were a worthwhile upgrade. I suppose they gave the instrument a bigger, more powerful sound. The bass was certainly good enough to gig with the seymour pups though.
gary mac Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 A last bump. If they don't go will keep them for my next project
redstriper Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Don't suppose you'd want to swap them for two Wizard 84 neck pick ups ? One in perfect condition, but one needs repairing.
gary mac Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Let me think on it, will get back to you tomorrow

mcnach Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1323345770' post='1462195'] OK no worries. [/quote] would you sell the one neck-position Wizard alone? I have a Korean Squier Jazz that plays nicely but with not very good pickups... and both are sized as a neck pickup. I already have one set of pickups, but I need to either widen up the route for the brodge pickup, or use another neck pickup... If you want to sell yours, please let me know.
redstriper Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Yes I will sell the Wizard 84 neck pick up for £20 inc delivery - pm me if you want it.
