Describe Vintage Jazz Bass tone to me

[markdavid]

Hi ,

I have a jazz that I may be swapping the pickups on and was looking at vintage jazz bass pickups (Fender Original 62 , Seymour Duncan SJB-1) , I know what a vintage Precision bass sounds like but tbh I have no idea what a Vintage Jazz Bass sounds like , can someone help me out with this , what kind of tone can I expect ? How does it differ from a more modern Jazz Bass tone ?

Hi, This might be helpful, it's a link with some sound files, near as dammit I suppose
