Choices for JB pup replacement

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys,

Firstly, I've read the JB pickup comparison sticky. I found it hard to actually work out an answer for my question from there, so thought I would just post it. My apologies if I should've just read it more closely.

I recently acquired a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz, I'm doing some modifications (both functional and aesthetic) and am exploring the idea of replacing the stock pickups. There are a few choices I can get easily, and was just wondering if you guys could help me out.

These are my choices:

Seymour Duncan JB101s (the bass contains these as a stock feature, so it's easy to leave them be altogether)

Fender Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass Pickups

Fender Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass Pickups

Fender SCN Jazz BassŪ Pickups

Bartolini 9J1 L/S Jazz Bass Pickups

Can people let me know what they think is the best option.

I know there are other options (Fralins, Nordstrand etc.) but I live in Australia and a) don't want to wait for customs to be wound and b) would like to avoid importing.

I'm open to other suggestions if the Aussies here know of other pickups available locally.

EDIT: Noticed I've got a few views but no replies. If anyone even has an opinion/experience with any of the above, please feel free to chime in.

Last bump before I give up.

If you've got any opinion at all, throw it up.
