Seymour Duncan 1/4 pound jazz PUP's

[bjabass]

Hi all, I put together a Precision bass for myself with a Squier body I bought here and a Mighty Mite neck and some nice hardware. I put a S/D 1/4 Pound PUP on it and it blows away my other 2 Fenders as well as a Squier I have. It has a MUCH higher output as well as a whole lot more tone adjustment and all the guys in the band mentioned they could hear me better (BETTER DEFINITION!).

Have you guys who have put the 1/4 Pound PUP's on your Jazz seen the same quality improvements? Mine is a 1989 MIJ '62 reissue.

I went with the SJB-2 Hot Jazz pups on my Hamer. From what I've read, the Quarterpounds are similar, but with a bit more attack. Since my Hamer Cruisebass has the 2-Tek bridge, it already has plenty of attack.

if you dig the "boost" from the QP p-bass pickup, then yes, the QP jazz set will do the same thing.

The SJB-2 hots are totally opposite to the QP's; they have big fat midrange, while the QP's are totally scooped. I absolutely hate the QPs, but different strokes - if they work for you, cool!

Awesome, it's a match made in heaven!

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I must have read something wrong. I was always suspicious of the scooped tone. Sounds cool when playing alone or for soloing, but seems to get lost in the mix.

i've got one P and one J in an old Fender Prophecy II. I LOVE the way they sound together, and also how they sound individually(modified it to have a 3 way toggle with volume/volume/tone). I can't speak to a traditional J or P, but i am definitely a fan of them.
