I'm not happy with the pups in my MIJ export Aerodyne Jazz and was considering the EMG PJX set for a replacement.

Anybody have any experience doing this?
Opinions (positive or negative) are welcome -

Any other recommendations?

I need clarity + PUNCH for Classic + Modern Rock Band.

Thanks in advance -

I've done this. You'll need to route out a little bit of wood for the pickup jack and for the battery. The PX soundS great but I think the JX wasn't designed for such a curved radius. I'd avoid the EMG's and go with something that can match the 7.25" radius. Tis a bummer cause I really like how the pickups sound but the volume difference between the E/G and the A/D strings is kinda noticeable.
 
I swapped out the entire electronics in my aerodyne.
I put in SD SPB-3 and a SD SJB-3 and CTS 500k minis and it sounds as good as ANY bass I have EVER heard.
