I think the Dimarzios are a good choice for a few reasons....inexpensive overall, good quality name product, and passives require no battery. I have played actives for 20 years and just converted to passives. A lot less hassle and very "natural" sounding. I have a few Dimarzio P's and they are very loud and punchy compared to some others. Duncans and Bartolinis are great too.

I was just recently thinking about getting those Dimarzios for my Jazz..

But I have Bassline: Quarter Pound pickups in my P.. They sound heavenly.. I recommend those

I've used the Di Marzio P/J setup on my Bass for many years - and at that time you had to buy the pair of J pups and throw one away!! - and highly recommend it. Once you have them installled, you might try experimenting with the series/parallel and phase switching options that you can find on the Di Mazrzio website.
