bassbuddy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for pick-ups to replace the stock P/U's in the Jazz V. Thanks, kENNy http://web.mac.com/vibechekmusic/iWeb/site/Home.html www.vibechekmusic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b5pilot Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 How about the fender noiseless pickups for the 5 string for starters. I have them in my Fender MIM deluxe 5 (they came standard)and I think they're pretty useable and they should fit. The thing about 5 string jazz bass pickups I've discovered is that you have to watch out for the spacing of the screws that hold the pickups in. The spacing isn't the same for all brands. Be sure to measure the screw spacing of your existing pickups to compare with whatever brand you are looking at otherwise alterations to the bass body (routering) will be needed. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo9247 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Try not to spend more on pickups than you did on the bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbuddy Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 "Try not to spend more on pickups than you did on the bass"..great advice rizzo...and also funny...I don't know..this bass is my practice bass that I play alot without an amp...keep it on a stand right off the kitchen and start doing scales when my wife wants to talk..LOL ..(just kidding). I took it on gigs a couple of times, and it has a great bass response but I found the P/U's to be so brittle in different positions. I might go with stock EMG's. Thanks for your advice guys.
