You'd get more feedback if you said you bass was an MIM and is better than any MIA. Then ask your question.

I have used and like the Nordie. Lots of good choices out there. You won't believe this, but I'm a "passive guy" and I think the EMG JAX is easily the best jazz pickup I have tried.

Thanks for the correction wvbass...my bass is mia.

I tried both, the NJ4's have much more flavor and character. Warm, bump in the mids without an overly harsh high end. My favorite J pickup ever.

I gave the Aguilars a spin. They were similar to the Nordy's but without the flavorful bump in the mids. They were very "flat" I would say... almost boring flat IMO. They were warm, but no real "character" in the mids.

Just my opinion.
