Whats some nice , bright jazz bass pickups

[thewalruswaspaul]

Hi ,
Was hoping someone here might be able to recommend some pickups for me , I have a Jazz Bass and the stock Fender pickups just aren't doing it for me , they just dont have enough highs for my tastes , can anybody recommend some nice , bright jazz bass pickups (not active pickups though) , im after highs and high mids and I like a bright snarly, tangy, biting sound

What are the current pickups you have in there? The Fender SCNs?

How about the Seymour Duncan Classic Stacks?
They have that zing you talk about and are hum-cancelling units aswell. I have them in my Shuker Jazz and can't recommend them highly enough.

How about getting in touch with Andy at Wizard Pickups and seeing whether he could wind some to your specs:
