    I despise Jazz basses, and I'm not a huge fan of bridge pickups of any kind, yet the bridge pickup sound of my Reverend Triad is one of the finest sounding bridge pickups I've ever heard.  As soon as I tried it in the shop, I was very impressed.

    I love jazz basses but I've never been thrilled by the bridge pickup.............. I want to change.

     

    Jazz bomb pickups, right?

    9.5K - is that all? ;)

     

    "The (Reverend) Jazz Bomb bridge pickup features warm mids and a focused attack, enhanced output, and still percussive when you dig in. Hum-free. 43 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 14K ohms."

     

    Not that DC resistance is the be-all and end-all of pickup power...

     

    Holy Mackerel.........!

     

    What is the be all and all..............in your opinion.......?

    Going off on a slight tangent, have you tried adjusting the stock pickup closer to the strings? There's a sweet spot for Jazz pickups, usually about 3-4mm from the bottom of the string to the pole pieces on the bridge pickup, and around 5-6mm on the neck pickup. That can make a huge amount of difference to your sound before you start any modifications.

    Hello Headless,

     

    Yeah, I've tried all that.  The neck pickup sounds great IMO.......  I'll have another try with your recommendations later.

    Good morning groovers,

     

    I've got a 2008 CV Jazz and the bridge pickup is a bit lame.

     

    I've seen a set of Bareknuckle Jazz pickups and am considering "treating" the bass to them.

     

    Who's really happy with their bridge pickup and what you got under the hood........?

     

    Thank you in advance,

     

    Chewie.

    Hey @Chewie. Slightly off topic but how did you get the finish to look like that? It looks exc.

    Hey Jezzaboy,

     

    Thanks man…. I used contour sanding pads from Toolstation and fitted em to my electric sander.  I used a T cut to polish it after a bit of 400 @ 600 wet and dry.

     

    I think I’ve got it licked now…..

    Contemplating my 2006 next…..
