Hey guys, so I've been working on a modified Jazz bass project since last summer. I put it together from various parts I've collected. The first pickups I put in there were a set of 2009 American Jazz pickups. I swapped them out because they were too thin sounding for me. Next was a set of Dimarzio Ultra Jazz. I swapped those out because they sounded too compressed, lacked growl, and easily got lost in the band mix. Now I have a set of Delano JMVC 4FE/M2 pickups in there. Really loud, powerful pickups but they're are really hifi sounding. I guess I'm looking for a set of pickups that have lots of growl to them, not so much of a compressed tone, and a little warmer. I'm not really sure if I'm looking for a vintage set or more modern, maybe because I really don't know the difference.

It would be perfect if I could get that tone from a jazz bass. I'm running a GK 700RBII head with a 210 cab and I also have a Fender Rumble 100 amp. Any help? I'm spending way too much money trying to find what I want. I checked out the sticky jazz pickups thread and came to Fralins (I heard they have bad hum though), SD Antiquity II, SD Basslines quarter pounders.
