Mick The Hat Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I've got a '76 Reissue Jazz made in Japan in 1986. Other than a Gotoh bridge and the addition of an Audere active system, everything else is standard Fender for that model including, I believe, the pups. I've just acquired a set of Seymour Duncan Antiquity I pups, and I'm wondering if these would provide enough of an improvement over the originals to justify the change. I'm looking for a bit more 'twang' and 'growl', so any suggestions for a reasonably-priced upgrade would be welcome. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 if you've just acquired them shove them in and have a try. Easy enough to switch them out if you prefer the other ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have contacted Entwistle and may well give their pups a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approaching £200 smackers for replacement Jazz pups? Have just bought the Entwistle Jazzers for £40.00 plus postage, so I would be VERY interested indeed to find out from anyone here if the Aguilars are really 5 times better-sounding than the Entwistles, to justify the price differential.
