Jazz replacement pickups?

There are loads of threads on this very subject. It might be worth doing a quick search?

You will get lots of suggestions, ranging from GFS, Wilkinson and Entwistle at the budget end of the scale; through Fender, EMG and Seymour Duncan in the middle and on to the boutique hand-winders....

None of it will be particularly helpful as only [b][i]your[/i][/b] ears will be able to tell you whether you like their tone in [b][i]your[/i][/b] bass or not...

What kind of bass do you have and what pickups are currently in it?

Any of those you suggest would work. Several people on here are very complimentary about Entwistle pickups at the moment, which have the added bonus of being very inexpensive.

Could you simply remove the preamp and use the noiseless Fenders in passive mode? I'm not familiar with those pickups so pardon me if that is a silly question! :blush:

Some recent threads that might be relevant and useful to you...
