[/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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks a lot for your honesty! And were the Wizards an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstriper Posted December 7, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted December 8, 2011 Share 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.
