I recently bought a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass, the natural one with black pickguard, and it came with Duncan Designed p-ups.
I want to change these, can you help me with which pick-ups to get?

first you're going to have to tell us why you're changing them out and what kind of sound you're looking to get... what don't you like about the duncans?

I'm looking for a more low-end sound

I've had one of those Fender Jazz 24's for a couple years now; it came with the Seymour Duncan Basslines jazz pickups. Lots of control over the tone, but I could never get enough punch out of them, and they were kind of noisy (hissed a lot if the treble was too high on the eq) through my Carvin rig.

After listening to sound clips for several different options I decided to install the EMG J-set a month or two ago. Big difference - lots of punch in the lower-mid range, no noise, simple install.
