Roger Waters Duff Mckagan Jamerson

Ah the pbass, what a beauty.

I have a Fender Highway 1 Precision bass that I really love and I can't see myself selling for a very long time if not ever. I love the way it resonates and how it feels and plays. I've added a badass II bridge (was the pre-badass version), a tort pickguard (thank you talkbass), and some higher end flat top knurled fender knobs. It's great.

I am thinking of adding a jazz pickup in the bridge to make it a P/J bass since I do absolutely love that tone when playing with a pick and in my current bands I am using a pick about 80% of the time. The current Pbass pickup seems a little shy on the bottom end and could use some stronger lows and low-mids. I do really like the open sound if that makes sense, nice clear high mids and highs but there isn't much substance underneath it all.

I love soul motown, weird soundscape rock like lots of Pink Floyd (DSOTM is my favorite album), and also that cutting P/J tone of Duff Mckagan in GnR (walking papers and loaded are awesome too!). I prefer roundwounds, both for crispness and feel and I currently use Rotosound rs66. I'm looking for a Pbass pickup that has a thumpy low end with nice clear and even crisp highs. For the jazz pickup, I will not be soloing it, it's to use full on with the pbass when I want a P/J tone. I'd like it to add some grit and growl while giving a nice slightly scooped melodic midrange.

Sets that I am currently considering:
Seymour Duncan Spb-4 and Stk-J2
Seymour Duncan Antiquity II and Stk-J2
Seymour Duncan Spb-3 and Dimarzio ultra Jazz
Seymour Duncan Spb-3 and Dimarzio model Jazz
Fender Original 62 P and Seymour Duncan Stk-J2
Dimarzio Model PJ
Lollar vintage P and Seymour Duncan Stk-J2
EMG GZR PJ

I am Planning on wiring this as Volume/Tone/3 way switch

What I am looking for is a solid P/J set and I want your recommendations (not objectively best). Tell my what you would choose and why, your influences, whatever info that you would like to post.

 

Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I want a P and a PJ sound, I don't really care for the jazz sound. But I do see your point.

 

This is the most intuitive combo for me at the moment. It just seems to make sense even though I haven't heard it.
