I use Duncan Spb-4 on my squier P-bass. Not just in order to get "Steve Harris like" tones, but i like the unique and solid sound of it. Havent tried Antiquity p-bass pick up yet, because you cant return the pickups to the shop if you install them on your bass here. I got to look for someone...

We tested my friend's Squier classic vibe jazz bass which has antiquity 2 pickups on it. That was the sound i was looking for.. We brought it to the guitar shop and compared with the standard series original Fender jazz bass. Some people said, they are pretty close in sound quality and the some...

True i saw them on the sheleves, just like my rotosound strings i saw only one packet. If you want to buy 2nd one, you cant find. I agree with you about ordering the strings from the internet. Do you recommend any steel string brands?

Problem solved :) We checked the connections again and put extra foam under the pickups. Thanks for the advices.

I am not changing my current jazz bass pickups right now, but i might modify a jazz bass in the future. So i started to ask questions again, in order to have an idea. Today the guitar tech and he told me that people are more happy with the "Option 2" below. He claims people get better variety...

Fat beams are not easy to find here. My options are fender, ernie ball or di marzio strings. The other kinds of strings very rare here. Which one should i consider using next?

I dont think that he will try to charge an extra. The shop keeper is another story, instead of admitting something wrong with the sound he turned up the gain on the amp to hide the flaw.. Told you i live in IStanbul, if they smell newbie guitar player, they do every trick they can. Trial and...

They are as high as they can be (but they are lower than the stock pickups, they cant be raised more), should i tell the guitar tech to put an extra support part under them to in order to make them higher? btw. I live in Istanbul, we dont have many guitar techs around. Only one shop sells SD...

I had Steve Harris signature pickups installed on my squier p-bass today, i like the tones, its amazing with the flats. The problem is, even my squier vintage modified jazz bass has higher sound output.. I get sound, its not very weak, but i expect to get something stronger and louder from...

I decided to put the flats on my other bass, which is a squier precision bass. I can say, i am happy with the outcome. (used 45-105 rotosound flats). I like the way it sounds, the bulky and steady tones, just like a truck :) On the other hand as elBantito says its harder to play with that...

Which one you would prefer then? DR fat beams or rotosound?

Hi there, Your advices about changing the pickups were very helpful :) Now there is the second question.. My squier VM 70s jazz bass has 45-105 ernieball roundwound strings on it. Should i keep on using them? I like Marcus Miller as a bass player and saw DR fat beams on the shelves. Should...

Thanks for the comments. I will follow your advices, original pickups stays.

It comes with duncan designed pickups (there is no label on the pickups tho). I like the way it sounds actually, On the other hand, its got very sharp sounds (thats not bad, its the characteristics of the bass), but i wonder if i can also get more round and versatile tones out of it with a...

I wonder if anyone tried it on a jazz bass like mine. Is it going to improve the sound it already has or is it going to give a much different sound character to the bass? I am totally clueless..
