Dimarzio Relentless P/J Experiences?

Does anyone have experience with Dimarzio Relentless P/J set? I heard them online. They sound great from the clips but, I don’t see a huge buzz about them. Anyone have them? If so what’s your experience?

Thanks!!!!
Haven't played the PJ, but the J set is great. Just a little lacking in the low end. But, they stay tight when the bass is boosted.

Im selling these $100 brand new never opened them. You’re a J bass guy. You should try them if you haven’t already

I’ve never tried the cobalt jazz. I’ve tried the PJ and that sucks. Kloppmann is the best out of all of these companies hands down he doesn’t make a noiseless p/j. Kloppmann makes the best pickups. If you try the JB 61 you’ll never put another pup in your bass
Well for 500 bucks, they better be. Although, I imagine that they aren't much different than anything else. It's magnets and wire.

If you read all the reviews, people will tell you they were nonbelievers like yourself. I was even a nonbeliever like man you could just buy these then I put them in my base and I’ll never ever change them. You’d be silly to change them. People take fender, custom shop pick ups out of their guitar to put Kloppmanns in. I don’t know what he does or how he does it his pick up just sound better than everyone’s

I hate Fender custom shop pickups. I find them dull and lifeless.

The 62 p is alright.

Kloppmanns are nothing like the fender custom shop pick ups. They have their own unique people take out their pick ups in Les Paul and fender custom shops to put Kloppmanns in there because they are better. The reason why they cost $400 and $500 because they are just phenomenal pick ups I recorded with them in Nashville and man they just kill. The jazz has this bass and midrange that’s unmatched. The PB63 is considered the best P on the market for replacement pups. Drop the dough you’ll see. It’s a sound that’s unmatched. I won’t replace my jazz bass or my PB with anything else. Kloppmann does not make noiseless P/J sets
 
Well, going back to the original thread topic, I have a set of PJ Relentless in an Affinity. I like them a lot, but I think the PJ Sixties are the star of DiMarzio's offerings. I recommend finding LowEndLobster's video a while back where they were both installed in matching basses. I think what you can hear in that video is pretty close to what you'll get IRL. I'll note that in my installations of the two, I use the 500K volume pots and .033 cap DiMarzio recommends.
