I went and checked but non of these points apply here. All seems fine. I don't change strings often so when I do I pay attention for a fine setup. Is it possible that it's the strings themselves? There ist just one thing that might be part of the issue I can think of. I usually had quite low...

I have TIs on my Fender Jazz since a year now and I notice some intonation issues that seem to get worse. 1. Usually the bass holds it's tuning extremely well. Doesn't need tuning sometimes in weeks of not touching it. But with the TIs that's not the case. If I play today, I'll have to tune it...

What type of paddle do you mean? Octaver or a multi-effect or something else?

Which manufacturer offers such a pickup?

Yes, it is

Thank you! Never heard of that before but it sounds actually quite interesting. I will check it out on yt and look for wiring charts.

tbh I did not consider ceramic pickups yet. I don't like the modern Stingray sound so much compared to the classic one. I think one part is the preamp and the other the ceramic. The ceramic tend to be very harsh and modern sounding. i am looking more for a vintage vibe. But now that you say it...

Thank you all for the suggestions so far! For the preamp suggestions: I'd like to keep it passive. I like tone more with tone control instead of pre-amp. It sounds more natural to me. Active basses can be awesome, don't get me wrong. I just prefer the passive tone and the custom build is...

I don't have a sound sample unfortunately because I have only one in my head. Didn't really find one online yet that fits. I imagine a Jacob sound I terms of definition and open sound but with more bottom. The jazz pickup is too thin to my liking if your not Jaco or play his music or solo stuff...

That is not what I am looking for. As stated above I am looking for a pickup that has one sound that fits the criteria of beefy yet defined lows with clarity and airyness of a J

It doesn't have to be J shaped. I am very Flexible with shapes

They sound interesting, but a price of 600€ at the only dealer over here is out of budget and reasoning for me. This would give me the option to have both, a single coil and a humbucker in one. Like a stingray pickup. But I am looking if there is a pickup that gives one sound with clarity of J...

Hi, I am looking for a Pickup in the bridge position that has the clarity of a J with the beef in the lower frequencies of a stingray pickup. Does such thing exist? Or how should it be wound to achieve that? I am not bound to a certain pickup dimension because it will be for a custom build...

I understand that. And thank you for the solution, I had the impression the pole pieces have to line up perfectly with the strings. I am just confused with the outcome of my construction drawing. I am sure something is off there and I will redo it the way suggested. I'd just like to have...

Yes exactly, but I observe the opposite on my plans. And it drives me nuts
