    J Pickup to match with G&L LB-100

    Hello everybody ! I have this LB-100 tribute that I absolutely love. So much that rather buying another bass, I'd like to add a J pickup to have a PJ configuration. You'd say that I should go with the G&L JB pickups but here's the thing: the pickup isn't too expensive but the shipping costs to...

    Anyone tried to install a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge humbucker blade Strat pickup in their P/J?

    So I am playing with the thought of trying out a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge humbucker blade Strat guitar pickup in the bridge J position of my 4 string P/J Ibanez Mikro Bass. The measurements should fit the cavity nicely (the overall length of this pickup is a bit shorter though, but I...

    2 X Mid Heavy, Single Coil, 4 string, J, Rail Based, Bridge Pickup That Will Sound Great in Series!

    So I currently use the 2 stock J pickups on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro bass wired in series directly to the output jack socket of the bass, and for such cheap pickups they do sound surprisingly great, but as I have to run the bass through a graphic EQ boosting the 280Hz band about 4dB, the...

    How many prefer their J pickups wired in series?

    So I am curious to how many prefer their basses with a 2 x J pickup configuration to have the pickups run in series. Personally I love how my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro bass sounds after I wired the two stock J pickups in series. Any combination in parallel of those two stock J pickups...

    Another thread about series pickup wiring, this time regarding a P and a J pickup!

    I realize that there have been a couple of threads lately already about series and parallel wiring of pickups, but that is actually what got me thinking if I could possibly benefit from wiring the P and J pickup in in my P/J bass in series. I also realize that this will be highly objective and...

    Popping sound from bridge J pickup, E string

    I just did a setup on my Squier VM PJ and everything sounded great, but then I noticed I get a popping sound on the attack of notes on the E string when only the bridge pickup is on. I've tried adjusting the pickup height but that didn't seem to do anything. This is only happening on the E...

    Adding a J pickup to P bass

    I am toying with the idea of adding a Jazz bass pickup near the bridge of my Fender American Standard Precision bass. Before you shudder at devaluing a bass, this bass is beat up and won't command top dollar anyway. I like the sound of a jazz bass but find J basses lack a bit of bottom end. I...

    J pickup - what does over/underwinding do to the sound/response?

    1) What does over/underwinding do to the sound/response of a J pickup? 2) What does flat poles vs protruding poles do to the sound/response of the pickup? If I were looking for a bit more punch and low mid out of a J pickup (vs CS 60s), what should I be looking for?

    V-MOD J Pickup Opinions

    I apologize if this has been covered extensively elsewhere, but I did a search and didn't find much. I'm looking for opinions on the Fender V-Mod Jazz bass pickups, how do they compare tonally to other "vintage" voiced pickups on the market? (i.e. CS60's, Fralins, Lollars, Duncan SJB-1's, etc.)...

    1975 Fender Precision route for J pickup or not??

    I have a 1975 Fender Precision fretless bass 100% all original. I realize out of all bass players about 1 out of 20 or so play fretless and the market to sell this will be small. If I keep it I am thinking about having it routed for a Jazz pickup between the bridge and pickguard. I know what...
