TI’ve always had good luck with two pickups from diff manufacturers as long as they were rated similar in resistance… with a small lean...

TWell, maybe not always, but sometimes luck can strike. It has with me, but that was more the exception than the rule. Sadly, like some...

TDid you check the phase and/or polarity on the pickups? You sound like they're out of phase. Swap wires. Also I find that in a P/J...
-
TNot an expert, but sounds like you might be wiring the J pup out of phase with the P.

TI agree with @ctmullins about the pickups being out of phase. I had a bass from the 90's made in Japan that was a P/J and they wired...

TI agree with this 100%. Every single time I have run into this issue swapping the hot and ground wires on the jazz pickup solved it. If...

T^^^This. All of it. And may I add, never think the tone knob should stay in one spot. Different settings can sound much better in the...

Ti had a set of the Ultra's in my jazz bass, i hated them...out of the box they sounded out of phase. Switched to the model J DP122. But...

TI have a PJ with EMG's installed . . . . my tonal preferences are to either (1.) use the P by itself (sounds beefy and solid) - or (2.)...

T22.3K isn’t hot? Pretty sure the bridge pickup should have higher output than the neck pickup for it to work well. I haven’t bothered...

TDC resistance is not a measure of output. Granted it’s been many years since I had my Hot P (I learned that I don’t really like P...

TThe BATT man replied to the thread More P/J questions.Thanks, I know DC resistance is not a "hotness" measure, I just included those stats in case there was something i missed.
