Jazz Pickup Advice?

[Ant_On_Bass]

I'm currently using a Geddy Lee Jazz with EMG pickups, i've found them to be a bit warm sounding to how i would normally like them, i play metal and like to have the bass cut through, alot of attack, "growly" woof!

so i'm not really getting on with these so well, so i was just wondering what J pickups would be good for the sort of style i like really? i'm not very clued up on it so any help or advice would be welcomed :-)

This thread also interests myself I looked into the wizard pickups I think they are supposed to give a growly thump anyone tried these? as they seem good value at about half the price of Seymour Duncan quarter pounders.

Wizard 64's and 84's get good reviews here and at £42 are cheaper than the SD's but i don't think they are as hot output as the quarter pounders, although i could be wrong.
Wizards are 11.5 K Ohms, SD quarter pounders are 13.9 and 14.6 K ohms, so deffo hotter outputs

I use the quarter pounders on my JV P/J and its certainly got more output than my jazz with fender pups, not necessarily a better tone, but hotter.

[/quote] Hmmm that is food for thought any other pups worth looking at that are similar to the quarter pounders? The Wizard Hammers look interesting.

i think the bareknuckle range are supposed to be fab, but pricey,

I'm going to has to fully check all of these out:-) I was tempted to stick some warwick mec's in but not really sure about that idea :-P

one of my Jazz`s has a set of Wizard 84`s in it, the other has a ceramic MM pup in the neck position and its a monster! it`ll only cost you a pickguard!
