• Jazz Bass Pickups

  
  As reviewed by Todd on 4/4/2009

  These pickups are wonderful! I replaced the stock single-coil pickups in my Squier VM Fretless Jazz Bass to get the hum-canceling benefit. In addition to that, I also found that my overall sound improved and that the presence was greater. The pickups are very responsive and all notes played, from lows to highs, are more articulated. Sustain is great as well. I highly recommend these pickups.

• Years of wasted basses!!!

  
  As reviewed by William on 12/19/2010

  For years I have traded up, traded down, and spent my tax return looking for a better sound. Finally, I gave up and just figured the sound I wanted wasn't to be had in my budget. I took one last chance and finally just installed new pickups and I can't believe it. I have been lusting over high-end basses in the stores for years and I no longer need to, these pickups have given my fender everything I thought it was missing. Just as advertised, the lows definitely are more prominent while still leaving the highs clear and bright. Great pickups. A must try for anyone who unsatisfied with his/her current sound.

• Clarity and punch

  
  As reviewed by F. on 2/14/2011

  When these pickups were installed for me- I immediately heard the difference from my stock pickups. Clarity, punch, and finally confidence. I didn't have to worry about single coil feedback and there was finally a punch to my bass. I like to create my EQ w/ a lot of treble and mid range and I use some gain and lower my master for some punchy, treble filled punk/ pop punk sound and with my old pickups it was really hard to do this because so much feedback would bleed out of my cabinet. I would highly recommend these pickups to accommodate various styles of bass. Also, I'd like to recommend for people to get these professionally installed- the last thing you want to do is mess this up and also to adjust your action and intonation when it's installed and get the proper gauge of strings for your tuning and sound. When you endure in a new piece of gear- make sure you do it right =].
