Solid pickups for the price
I bought these pickups to replace the stock pickups on my MIM jazz bass. I was searching for a more round tone with more midrange. Neck position was most important - I wanted it to be more P bass like. Comparing to the stock single coil pickups, these have more bass and low mids, higher output and overdrive the amp sooner. Neck pickup sounds close to a P bass now. I wired the pickups with two 500k volume pots and 1 meg tone pot to retain the treble and it's a pretty good combo. More lows and mids and highs are still present.

Neutral and versatile
Excellent quality for a very low price. This pickup offers the easy solution for the players who want to get rid of the pickup hum from original single-coil pickups and still retain the characteristic jazz-bass sound. The sound is well-balanced and suitable for most players and styles.
This set replaced the original single-coils from my fretless MIM Fender Jazz Bass and sits not perfectly in the pickup slots. Compared to Dimarzio DP149 Ultra Jazz this set is more traditional and offer more round tone. A good bassist always know to stay away from treble.
The popularity of this pickup speaks for itself. It's really difficult to match the quality in the same price range.

A fantastic upgrade
These PUPS brought my Warwick Corvette passive to life! They really accentuate the famous Warwick growl. A highly recommended upgrade over the standard MEC pickups.

exactly what I was looking for!
for the price these bad boys are insane!
I needed lots of low end for ACDC and boy did I get it... nice mids too and enough treble for the funk and jazz.
Beautifully warm tone and can add crunch when needed.
over all a very satisfied customer.

Fascinating
The design of these is fascinating to me. They're humbucking, but in a way where if you wire them incorrectly sound comes from only either the E and A or the D and G. Led to a lot of confusion.
Instructions were clear and even provided some novel idas. pups were easy to install and even come with some easy to cut foam to provide some padding. They loook damn cool too in a naked wood bass. Pure black.
Unfortunately tonewise they sound a little P-Bass like to me, which is precisely what i was trying to avoid. They are very hot and round in their sound as oppposed to smooth like a jazz pup should be. That's preference of course.

Clean, well defined sound - a massive improvement over stock p/ups
Fitted to a mid-nineties MIJ jazz bass. Very, very happy with the result - clean, well-balanced and articulate tone. Also, they are less prone to buzz than the old ones. The adjustable poles mean fine-tuning response for each string is a doddle. Very happy with this purchase
