I have the Fralins in my 2003 MIA Jazz four, and Nordstrand's NJ5FS in my 2008 MIA Jazz V, which are supposed to be voiced like the NJ4SV. I haven't compared either to its single coil version, but I think the Fralins sound more like vintage-voiced single coils generally. They sounded darned close to the stock singles in the Jazz V. The Nordstrands have a slightly modern slant to their tone, but it's still passive J-bass all the way.

Thanks Nedmundo,

That helps. The Fralins are closer to the Vintage Sound, which is what I'm looking for. Pretty much set on Fralins' at this point, but still having some doubts about going Noiseless .
Haven't had any luck finding clips of Spit J and J to compare.
