Hi all! I am was going to buy a new fender jazz bass ( http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0264500552 ) but then i saw that it had Seymour Duncan pick-ups and Iv heard that the Noiseless pick-ups are better. What are your opinions on this bass and its pick-ups?

I have that bass. Bought it about a year ago as a back up bass. It spends just as much time in my hands as any other bass I have. I love it just the way it is and wouldn't change a thing. I have used this bass on at least 70-80 gigs this last year and have had alot of compliments of the tone. Including someone from David Allan Coe's sound crew when we opened for him a couple of months back. I did play at a gig a few months back and was almost next to a beer sign that would make some noise through the bass. Since then I took the pickups and electronics out and painted the cavities with EMI paint. 3 coats letting each coat completely dry before adding the next. I have played at that same bar and even though the noise wasn't completely gone, it was reduced significantly. I would say by about 75% which is more than I hoped for so I am happy. If you go to my myspace page, I recorded "Groove in D" with that bass if ya want to give a listen.

wow that sounds better than i thought it would! Iv only played a 100 euro slammer by hamer bass (yeah Im poor). I am almost sure Ill buy that bass, just gonna look for a few more audio samples of that and a few other basses to be sure. Thanks a lot for your help!

Well, Noiseless or SCN pickups won't have the 60 (or 50) Hz hum from mains. But that's nothing that cannot be resolved through improved shielding (as mentioned above) and a hum reducer in your signal chain. What's more important is the sound, since they don't sound alike. Basslines are a little hotter and more aggressive than Noiseless, which gravitate towards a vintage sound.

I think ill look for noiseless pick-ups ( http://www.thomann.de/fi/fender_mex_deluxe_jazz_vw.htm seems good). I really hate making decisions like these hehe

I absolutely agree. I just now realized I have the noiseless p-u's in my MIM Jazz 5 string. (Forgive me, it's early!!!) Anyways, the SD's are more aggressive (What I like to refer to as a Modern kind of sound) and the Noiseless lean more torwards vintage sounding. Both are full and thick sounding though. If you go back to my myspace page, I believe the first video is my MIM Jazz 5 string.....
