Fender Pure Vintage '64 Jazz pickups

[Rnr..........4]

They would be installed in an American Standard though the body is an MJT. I had a Roadworn at one time but I found it to be not very responsive. I had to put really light gauge strings on it to make it feel like it was resonating. I probably just got a hold of a bad example but I haven't wanted to try another even though I get what you're saying. If both the Originals and PV 74s looked the same would you still go with the Originals?

I have a Road worn classic 60s jazz. I was thinking of putting the vintage 74 Fender pickups in it but some say they were designed for 70s spacing Jazz basses and not the 60s spacing. Is that true?

You found the Road worn non-responsive? My 2018 one sounds pretty good but the pickups need to be upgraded.

I'm looking for Jazz pickups that are a bit darker, louder and punchier.
