Delano PMVC FE/M2 Review!
- Thread starter jmattbassplaya
- Start date
I am considering getting a set of the JMVC 4 FE/M2 for my jazz bass. Just curious about the wiring. How many conductors? 2, 4, ??? Thanks!
Yeah Elwood has a bite!
Why thank you sir.
2 per pickup (hot / cold), installed a set in my MIA Deluxe Jazz without any problems.
No sound clips as of yet, and I forgot to bring my P bass home with me
Even with the tone rolled off the bass still has a pretty modern sound. You definitely get more of a thump instead of a punch when you do this, but the inherent character is still modern sounding - if that makes sense.
Personally, I would not suggest this pickup if you are looking for a truly vintage sounding pickup. If you're looking to make your Precision sound clearer, punchier, and more aggressive, however, then this pup will get you there with ease
I just ordered a used pair (thanks Smurf_Byte) from music go round!
I can't wait to try them out with my Rusty Box preamp pedal
perhaps they can help restore the punchyness I fell my rig lacks! one can only hope

Thanks for this review!! I have been interested in these Delano's for a long time and could never find a review. I appreciate you taking time to contribute this.
Did you guys add any shielding while installing these? or is that something more commonly done with active basses?
You're most welcomed
I was wishing there was a review available for the Delanos when I was first looking into them, and since there didn't seem to be any I decided to make one myself to hopefully help my fellow bassists out. I didn't add any, and I have not noticed any increase in hum from my P bass - not that there was any before
It runs dead silent.
^ alright, cool!
So... you didn't really want to put the Dunlop strings on?
I have a set of Rotosound swing 66 steelies currently on my bass but I've gotta say that my favorites strings up to this point are the Dunlop nickels...
I'm gonna give the Dunlop steels a chance next..

Dunlop's are alright, but I'm much more of a DR guy. Low Riders on my P are absolute sonic bliss
I see.
I tried a set of Hi Beams and decided that DRs are nicer on my acoustic guitar
and Rotosounds are good on my electric guitar
The Dunlops I tried were the first in string change on the Squier since I had bought it..

Didn't shield as well, but then again the MIA Fenders have conductive paint inside the control cavity. But these are dead quiet, even when I accidentally touch the exposed pole pieces.
I should be good to go when the arrive Friday then!
I asked about the shielding cause I didn't know if these pickups run "hotter" than the stock Squiers..
