Basslines Vintage Jazz Bass Pickups

[blues_bassist]

I have a '96 Fender Jazz Bass fretless and I'm looking to upgrade the pickups. I'm curious as to if the Basslines Vintage Jazz Bass pickups are any good. I play a lot of Blues and Roots Rock, so I want to keep that vintage tone.

If you have any experience with these pickups I would really value your input.

The SJB-1 (Vintage Jazz) series are great pickups. I have a set in a fretted J bass, but I've always thought they would sound good in a fretless. In my fretted bass, I have also used Fender CS 60's and the Sadowsky hum canceling, but I have only really been satisfied with the Duncans.

If blues is your gig, I doubt you would be disappointed.

You also might want to check out the Antiquity II series as well.

I second the Antiquity series. I tried both and prefer the Antiquity I. In my opinion they were not as hot as the II and had an overall warmer sound.

I have a set in a MIM jazz bass. They sound great. They sounded even better when I put and Audere preamp in front of them.
