PJ set for fretless

[AVWIII]

I'm looking for a good PJ set for my fretless yammy, being that the stock pickups are microphonic as hell, and just all around uninpsiring. I'd prefer passive pickups, with a nice smooth, yet bright/punchy tone. Plenty of mwwwwaaahhh.Any suggestions?

I'll chime in briefly now...I am waiting on my Matt Pulcinella fretless which has P/J Basslines in it, and the bass is passive. I'll check back in after I play it for a while.

I recently installed a Dimarzio P/J set in my Yamaha RBX350. No modifications, perfect fit. Sounds great, very growly with -mids and bass for days, but it is not bright-sounding at all. I wouldn't call them smooth either, as they have an edge, but I like them like that. If you want clarity, I would looks at a different model/brand.

One plus is the the Dimarzio has adjustable pole pieces, which especially handy in budget basses, since they might not have good string balance acoustically.

That's awesome! You'll have to let me know how it sounds!
