TPJ Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Now sold thanks For Sale. These sounded great in a Jap jazz I had but I sold that bass and never found anything interesting enough to put them in. I believe they are the V2JLH model found [url="http://www.villex.com/pickups.html"]here.[/url] NOTE: The neck pup is smaller in size than the bridge pup as per regular Fender cavity sizes. Comes complete with control plate already wired with stacked volumes, mid-range sweep thingy and passive tone control, screws and knobs. £125 posted o.n.o Edited February 27, 2010 by TPJ

Kiwi Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I guess so, but the Modulus VJ only came with Barts as standard which were way too scooped to be heard on stage. Villex were offered as a custom option and they apparently didn't have this issue. So its a good way to upgrade a VJ and enhance its desirability.

You have the benefits of an active system (good output with tone clarity and flexibility) in a passive setup. These pups will improve the sound of your basic jazz bass clone exponentially, as well as reportedly expensive instruments as stated above. Anyone with a dull sounding bass would not do wrong installing these. Or, get an inexpensive bass and pimp it. I'd keep these but all my basses are sorted and I'm saving for a UDB. Price negotiable.

Higgie Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I've got these in my Shuker Jazz and they are without doubt some of the best sounding pickups i've ever heard. It's the most versatile passive Jazz I've ever heard/played.
