Direct Replacements Jazz Pickups

[Davebass]

I could have swor i just posted this and its completly vanished. if it turns up just ditch this one .....

I'm planning on putting some Dimazio Ultra J's and a Audere Preamp into me Squier VM (Fretted). After doing to searching around on here its came up that the Pickups will not fit directly into the body. what would would have to be done to make them fit? or would it be worth finding a direct replacement? if so what other optins do i have for a bass that is used largly for slap.

Cheers

Dave

Your other post is in the 'Amps' category!

Bartolinis and the Audere would make for a killer slap jazz.
You can go here to get an idea of which Barts to use. They also have the size specs.

I wonder what i was doing posting it in the amps section for .... Senior moment .... at 17.

and are barts a direct fit?

I got A VM Squire too, let me know how the new setup sounds in comparison to stock. (I run a preamp with a POD XT to add some Compression and eq. The VM Jass seems to like it much better than no pre-amp.

i think ive got an idea of which im going for. can i just get someone to comfirm that they are a direct fit and i will have to do no body work to make them fit in?

Cheers

Fender Mexican made jazzes have non standard sized pickups - not sure about the Squier VM.

I've just taken some Model J's out of my Jazz to put Wizard p/u's in ()

Ultra j's are standard MIA size (I have some in a Tokai jazz)

Don't know if this helps

i putted barts in.... sounds awsome ! (in my mex fender - fitted perfect)

[Davebass]

just looking at the specs on the bart pups and a very scruffy ruler on my bass they look like they should fit. i am going to get them off the itnernet because no one around me sells pups. so just for that reason i want to me definite that they will fit as perfect replacements in my squier. any one who has put them in a squier before stand up now!!

Cheers Everyone

Aero Instrument makes PUs for Mexi Jazz Basses. It's a standard model for Aero.
