Then I figured I can't go wrong with Sadowskys... they seem to make everything better, right? 
Of course this will all be run thru a Sadowsky outboard. | I really like Sadowsky pickups, however just installed some Nordy singles in mine and it's pretty darn nice. |

| Wow. Good memory. The final result will differ a little bit, as I took some advice from the masters creating my next workhorse.

| I thought about the Nordy 70's wind but still went with the Sads.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Near Chicago Illinois USA | | Recently took delivery on what I guess are the P2 pickups. (correct? Not familiar with the term. Assume from context above it's just the soapbars in the smaller shells) 
These are amazing pickups.
My ears are used to Alembic Series I pickups and Stock Fender Jazz pickups.
Active, these Sadowsky's provide a clarity similar to my Series I, and passive (or active & flat) they hover sonically around a J or PJ, depending on which pickup you favor. Not identical, but brethren to be sure.
My pickup location is different than a standard modern, and I believe this has a definite effect on the sound.
My other modern had the larger shells in the standard locations. (I think !?!) Also a great sound.
