Fender Pure Vintage 64' Jazz Bass pickups question:

So, I played a Fender Flea jazz bass the other day and the Pure vintage 64' pickups in the bass really spoke to me. Nice and clear, with a good amount of bottom end humpfff, and a properly reigned in top end to the tone. (I can't stand J bass pickups that are ridiculously bright, like my 04' Highway 1 Jazz) Problem: I can't find a set of these 64' pickups anywhere. Anybody have any hookups for a set of Fender Pure Vintage 64' Jazz bass pickups? Or , does anyone know a set of pickups that would speak the same dialect? Appreciate any help folks!

 

Thanks for the reply. I've checked both and get no hits. I'm kind of surprised they're hard to find because they were basically a mass production item in Fender's catalogue and were sold as sets and in basses for years.

 

Good idea.

 

63?

 

Ciao Gianni! Yeah I definitely like the sound of the 64's, although I think for my one and only jazz bass that I have right now which is a 2004 Highway One, in which the pickups I find to be ridiculously bright, I'm looking for something with a bit more of a blended tone between the 60s and the 70s Jazz basses. For example I really like the sound of the V mod pickups in the American professional basses. Fender actually lists both sets of pickups on their website now so they must be re-issuing the 64's to buy as separate units. I'm open to trying a variety of different sets of jazz bass pickups, what I'm really looking for though is something with more of a reasonable amount of treble. To put it in perspective, I have a set of Fender 7150 pure nickel strings that I've had on my jazz bass for probably 2 years and I still have to run the tone at below half most times or I have way too much clickety clack in my sound!
