chrismuzz Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Aww I didn't get foam had to use the foam from my old pickups. Life is so hard! Quote
fleabag Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Me neither - i supplied my own too ! Whats going on ..i dunno Quote
Thunderbird Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I wondered this as when I have bought other pickups before they have always come with screws springs and foam Quote
Thunderbird Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Just had a very friendly chat via email with Simon from Entwhistle and he has confirmed that the pickups come with screws and springs but not foam which has to be purchased separately so I have ordered a set of PBXN's for my new project P bass Quote
Thunderbird Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1402944547' post='2478182'] No springs with mine [/quote] Bum Quote
chrismuzz Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 You might want to set the P pickup a bit lower because if the string gets anywhere near it you get one hell of a racket! Probably won't affect you if you play properly but my right hand technique is quite aggressive Quote

fleabag Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I dont have that problem with my Gazelle like touch Quote

Nibody Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Having obtained a nice CAR PJ body, I picked up one of the Neobdnym J bridges to pair with a standard Fender "original" p pickup. My god you could stop a charging Rhino with it. I think I'll be investing in a P/j set for the Washburn next. Never was impressed with Jazz bridge pickups but this one is an eye opener. Quote
chrismuzz Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Glad you're enjoying it! It's definitely the best j pickup I've ever heard! Generally I prefer a humbucker at the bridge for extra heft but this is a great alternative! Quote
Thunderbird Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I am so looking forward to putting my PBXN in would also like to say Alan and Simon at Entwhistle are really helpful guys One question if anyone knows is the red wire the hot one? I think it is but just double checking thanks in advance 1 Quote
Thunderbird Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1403903618' post='2487687'] Red's always the hot one, get it stuck in! [/quote] Cheers Mr Muzz I thought it was I had a blonde moment lol need to finish spraying the bass and doing all the other bits and bobs before the pups go in Quote
Nibody Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I'm intrigued to hear the PBXN in action, I love the Fender "original" pickups but I'd like something with more bite in an (as in The Ox) kind of vibe. Tried Wizard Thumpers a while back but they didn't achieve what I wanted. If the jazz equivalent is anything to go by (they are louder than the Fender P pickup in my PJ) I might be on to something. Quote
Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 After Dave's (Nibody) endorsement on how good it sounds, I think I might have to get a JBXN to go in the bridge position of my practise bass to pair it up with the Seymour Duncan SPB-4 SH pick up. Has anyone got any sound samples of these Neodymium pick ups as i can't find any videos. Quote
BruceBass3901 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Can anybody comment on the difference in sound between the ceramic and Neo versions of each of these pickups? Really interested to try these in my current Jazz bass build as I am already trying out a set of Dimarzio Ultra Jazz and a set of SD Quarter Pounders once it is finished Quote
chrismuzz Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I can't compare the two, but the Neo versions have definitely got a much higher output! Compared to the SD quarter pounders, they are again higher output and with more midrange clarity. Very good pickups indeed! Quote
BruceBass3901 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for that chrismuzz! Considering the price, I may just get a set of each for a 'shootout' and see what sticks in this bass Very interested in the P style pickups as well as my next build is a PJ. Do Enwhistle ever do MM style pickups? Quote
cachao Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Got neos in my Tanglewater, ceramics in my old Merica. Definitely louder in the former. Difficult to compare sounds, as these are totally different basses. Quote
fleabag Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) For those who dont like / cant deal with Ebay - go to official dealer Simon, where i got mine. Same price as Ebay [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] Edited July 2, 2014 by fleabag Quote
Thunderbird Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I have a brand new PBXN for sale in the BC marketplace if anyone wants one Quote
DarkHeart Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 So very kind of you to sell me that pup Paul, its a monster! Ive replaced a Duncan SPB2 with it and its louder, crisper and to me anyway it seems to have an equal volume spread between all the strings and that was with just screwing it into the bass! Cracking bit of kit for the money, think i might get a pair for a jazz bass next Quote
