bridge J pickup suggestions for SB-1 PJ build

Hey there, they sound pretty good together but I'm already looking for something a bit more "modern" sounding. Thinking about taking these out and replacing them with some Nordstrands again or maybe some diMarzio Model PJs.
Let me know if you'd be interested in buying the SPB4 & Hot Jazz bridge pickup as a set. I haven't listed them in the classifieds yet but I'm taking them out of my bass tomorrow & will cut you a deal on em.

Thanks for the update!
You can go ahead and post them, I'm still a month or two away.

Take a look at Epic Custom Shop.
The owner is an Areo Space engineer or some braniac type who winds pups himself.He'll do things to your taste but the stock ones I've used are great.His prices are surprisingly good also.Sorry but I'm a techno boob and don't know how to send links,a Google search will lead there.

I just put the PJ2 set in my Ibanez Talman TMB100, with the Guitar Fuel Tone Monster SBK-2 preamp. It is the perfect match for my use in an active bass. For a hotter, fuller sound, then the PJ1 may be a good choice.

I'm in love with Tone Monster preamps.I've used both the 2 and 3 band.For the money you can't beat them.

Okay actually my preamp pedal was apparently on the fritz & fully died today. Playing my bass plugged straight into the amp actually sounds pretty dang great lol. Gonna keep these pickups in it for a short while lol
