Most "Humbucking" sounding J Pickup (Passive only)?

[louloomis]

Hi. I know there was a post recently asking for the reverse of my question. But, I would like to know which J-sized pickups sound the most humbucking. I believe I'm headed in that direction at this point, sound-wise.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

There are tons of humbuckers in a jazz suit. Guess that you should avoid split-coils, since those tender to be the humbuckers closer to singles.

Really? I thought they were all split coils...no?

Can you give me an example of a true humbucker in a J pickup?

Thanks,

some are stacked and double coils, such as the norstrand fat stacks, others are split coil, like a p bass, except in one casing, the model j is an example

Humbucking means they don't hum. So what does "humbucking" sound like?

Now if you mean they have a fat low end and mids, then none of the hum canceling Jazz pickups would get you exactly there because none of them are configured like a real humbucker, except the Joe Barden pickups:

Most hum canceling Jazz pickups are split coils or stacks.

I have no idea what the Bardens sound like.

This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Thanks.

Does anyone else other than Barden make something like this?

Mama pickups produce a similar set of pickups. Trouble is, they're in Italy...

Then again, I've also seen people use DiMarzio FastTracks as a small-sized twin-coil. Might want to try that, although the pickups is nowhere near the format of a Jazz coil, you might be able to put it under a blank Jazz cover.
