Accurate early 60s Jazz pickup set?

[Timothy Brosnan]

I replaced the pickups on a MIM JB years ago on my son’s bass with Fender 62’s. I made it a tone monster my son is still playing on today, after 20 years of being a bassist in the Marine Corps. It’s,ore than a little shop worn by now as can be expected (soft wood body), but it still sounds great.

Thank your sons for their service in the United States Marine Corps. My better half and I are Army veterans, but we are associate members of the Marine Corps League.

Thanks, but I’m not going to take all the credit for for 2 Marine that served for 21 years. My wife and I just gave them the tools to be successful in life. Make no mistake, the Marines made them Marines and we couldn’t be prouder.

But let me return thanks for your and wife’s service as well. Best wishes.

Thank you so much for that! Happy New Year.

I’ve collected some DCR data of 7ender JB pickups from the web between -60 to -75. (Yes, I know DCR is not good to judge the PU’s (sound) quality . But its the only what you get. You don’t see much Henrys, capacitance or Gauss values.)
Based on that, I think "Lundgren hot" are quite good substitute for early 60s JB PUs. I have those and been very satisfied. They are 8,1 kΩ/3,5 H and 8,7 kΩ/ 3,9 H.
