mashup Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hello fellow Bassmen/women Moving on from a previous post of mine, where i was considering trading in my Aerodyne for a G & L L200, as i was in search for more tone, i have decided to just upgrade the pickups on my Aerodyne instead. I have already upgraded the stock Jazz pickup to a "Hum cancelling" DiMarzio UltraJazz, which hasn't actually cancelled any hum at all, but maybe this is down to additional cavity shielding being needed. I had the UltraJazz professionally installed, so i know that the grounding has been done properly. Anyways....My question is, what would be, in your opinion, the absolute best p/j pickup set that i could buy to replace my current pickup configuration? And also, does anyone know where in Surrey/South London i can take my Aerodyne to be fully cavity shielded/Grounded by a professional? As an alternative, If i were to get my Jazz professionally shielded/Grounded, and it really minimized the Hum on the DiMarzio, I may keep it installed and need to only replace the Stock P pickup. If i were to do this, what would be the best P pickup to replace it with? Thanks for reading my thread, and please, i need your help, Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'd get the shielding sorted out before you make any further decisions about upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my Jazzes have Dimarzios fitted and they are totally hum free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
