thanks very much for the explanation @bassbenj;

does the split coil Jazz pickup sound much different from the single coil Jazz pickup?

i like the character of the single coil pickups and i like the idea of a precision split pickup getting a little punch from the j pickup, just have to see what the budget can support, we're moving in two weeks and everything we have is going into the move/house. probably in a few months i'll be...

Does anybody know about this by any chance?

Yes, Just looking around at all of the options

is it difficult to modify the wiring to spit the humbucker so it's more in the Jazz bass tone range?

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some advice, it's a general "which bass should i buy" question but I think I can help with the discussion so it shouldn't be too hard to get things pointing in the right direction. Been playing electric bass since about 1981, started when I was in 8th grade...

thanks for the reply. bart

thanks for the replies everyone. i'll sit on what i've got for awhile longer until i really need the new gear. lots to learn it looks like.

i wonder why we don't see combination cabinets like 1x12 with 1x15 or 1x15 with 2x10?
