Antiquity 2 or Fender 62 pickups for my MIJ 62 RI ?

[No4PCs]

What pickup have more "mid agressive tone", the Antiquity2 or the Fender 62 custom shop pickups? It´s for my MIJ 62 RI bass. Thanks for any input.

i personally prefer the duncan SJB-1's over the fender AVRI's and the antiquity II's. IME, the fenders are brighter and a bit thinner sounding than either of the duncans.

I have the antiquity IIs in my 62ri, and I really like them. They have a lean towards the low mids, which I prefer for pick tone. However, I don't find them balanced as well in upper-mid growl, I usually have to finesse that out with EQing.
I'd take Johnk's advice and go for the SJB-1s, I run a set in my squier and they're alot more mid present and more "typically jazz" sounding.

Thanks a lot for advice friends.

I like the Antiquity's but the Fender 62's are awful close and for the money difference I usually end up going with the Fenders.

I really like the antiquity II's. I have them in several p basses and would buy them again.
