PJ pick-up set for an Active Bass

[jassthebass]

Good afternoon

 

I'd like to change my pick-up set in my Troy Sanders Jaguar bass which has a PJ Active configuration.

I'm wondering if any set available to purchase is properly compatible with an active bass ?

 

Any opinions welcome

Cheers

Any pickups should be compatible, the active part is essentially just a preamp that the pickups plug/are wired into

Many thanks for the info Killerfridge

Killerfridge is correct. Shouldn’t be an issue (other than EMGs which are a different animal).

 

If you’re looking to change pickups can suggest you check out Catswhisker Pickups… hand wound in Birmingham and really nice. Plus he’s happy to tweak them to your tastes. Have some of theirs in my Frankenjazz and they’re fabulous. And really good vfm compared to the big brands like SD, Aguilar etc. if you’re interested I had a humbucking jazz set then swapped the neck pickup for a soapbar… just because why not. All fabulous pickups!

Why do you want to change? You don't like the sound, or just want a different sound?

 

The main issue with replacement pickups is finding the right dimensions.

 

Try an outboard preamp. That will alter/improve your sound without the need to mod your bass.
