I need a jazz pickup for my pj bass

Could use an SPB-3 J.

 

Try a Dimarzio Ultra J too for a hum cancelling option with as much output as the SJB-3b

 

Since we're just suggesting you might look at the Wilde J-45. Bill's P-46 gets a lot of love from the P-Bass set and his J-45 is noiseless and also gets good reviews. Happy Prosperous New Years guys!

 

I second the DiMarzio Ultra J suggestion. You don't want to use a SD quarter pounder in a PJ unless you don't care about hum.

 

It's just the nature of the PJ arrangement. Matching any single coil J pickup with a split-coil P pickup is just an invitation for noise whenever you use the J pickup at all. The SD quarter pound J pickups work fine as a matched set of two J pickups. But for a PJ bass, if you don't want any extra noise, you need a hum canceling J pickup to go with the P pickup.

In my p/j I used the Duncan hot jazz stack alongside the quarter pounder p, and I like the combo. Plenty of teeth in the jazz, soloed or as some snarl mixed into the p

 

I just put the dimarzio ultrajazz in my pj with a stock p pickup. Sounds great. Very crisp and clean sounding and dead quiet. The stock setup was noisy with the J on at all but this one doesn't make a peep.
