aussiebass Member Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 5	Hi, can anyone tell me if its possible to fit a set of noisless pickups from an American Deluxe Jazz to a MIM standard if the pots and electronics are removed from deluxe units? Would this be a reasonable upgrade as I am wanting to keep the bass with all fender parts, or would a set of custom shop 60's be a better option to replace the standard ones? I can pick up the deluxe pups at a good price. Thanks , Aussiebass.. Edited by aussiebass (04/13/07 06:20 AM)

Measure your pickups in the MIM and ask Fender for pickup dimensions of the models you're interested in.

The P bass size seems to be standard but Jazz is a liitle different. But, that would be a nice up-grade to the US Fender noiseless pups.

No, seriously, read the above posts..and measure carefully...all Fenders do not have the same dimensions. _________________________ Visit my webpage Look for me in the August BP Mag or online at bassplayer.com
