Fender V Mod Jazz Pickups - Thoughts?

[King Tut]

I've recently bought a lovely American Pro Jazz from hereabouts. I'm really happy with it but I'm struggling to get my head around the pickups and I'm wondering what other peoples thoughts are. For those that don't know, each pickup has 'Alnico 2' poles for two strings and 'Alnico 5' for the other two. I have to say, they really do have a nice equal response across the neck. The output is quite low, even with them adjusted up, so much so that I pretty much have to dime the input on my MXR Compressor. I've found they have lots of top end, so much so that I only have to open the tone control a gnats to get all the bite I need. They're also quite mid prominent although in a nicely rounded way. Additionally, I find that the bridge tone, while usually being quite different to the neck tone actually sounds pretty similar with these. I've done a handful of gigs and a rehearsal with it and I just can't make up my mind whether or not I like them. For context, on my older Jazz, I had SD Quarter Pounders which I really like, so I guess that's what I'm comparing them to. Anyway, in the interests of sub sonic sperimentation, I've ordered a set of Entwistle Pups that arrive tomorrow! 

 

What are your experience of these pickups dear bass Fellowes?

I have CS62 pups on my US Jazz and I can't complain. Sounds fantastic.

I’ve not had the Jazz V-Mods but did have the Precisions. For me they lacked character in comparison to the CS62s.
