I purchased of Ebay, somebody had done a bad job of installing a Jazz pickup. I decided to change the jazz pickup and pots while i was at it. The P pickup has adjustable poles, still cant nail a "forget me nots" tone though. Have seen a 63 fender pickup on sale, not sure whether it will give me an improvement.

seems to sound a bit better when blended with the jazz pickup, is it possible the bass has de valued by routing and adding a jazz pickup, i also put cts pots and a pio cap.

I posted a problem with my pickups being out of phase when i installed a creamery jazz bass pickup on my ibanez, took your advice and swapped the connections, now works a treat!. Having gigged with it i have decided that the stock split p pickup is not a patch on the Jazz pickup i have installed. Is it worth spending the money on a better pickup say a Fender original or Seymour Duncan?. Not sure whether it will give me that genuine P bass tone, the bass is of decent mid range quality, i presume its a combination of pickup,woods and build. Is there anybody that can advise me.

Yes guys, you advice was good. Swapped the cables around, the bass sounds great(the creamery pickup is excellent) both pickups together give a reall funky J bass vibe. I may even change the stock precision style pickup to a better quality,maybe another creamery. He is local to me.. Thanks

Gonna rewire tomorrow,

why reverse the Jazz pickup and not the P ? do u mean swap the hot for the earth on the pot?

Just added a nice creamery jazz bass pickup to my Jap Ibanez blazer. This sounds great on its own, but terrible ( out of phase?) mixed with the P pickup it may be out of phase, also the p pickup is louder. How can i fix this?
