Welcome!
If your JV is a '57 as your name suggests, of course you'd be looking for a pickup with raised A string polepieces (whether these help or hinder string balance is another question!) As far as I know, your options are limited to a secondhand one taken from a real JV, or from a Fender US Vintage Reissue.. don't think they've ever been available separately. Otherwise, you could order a really nice custom pickup with the correct specs... plastic covered wire, raised polepieces, etc. Maybe try Mojo Pickups or Oil City?

Thank you, and many thanks for your answer! Yes, it’s a ‘57 reissue:) I see, finding an original JV pickup is probably impossible. A custom pickup could be an option, however I would prefer to find something “off the shelf”. It mustn’t be exactly as original but as close as possible. I have looked at the fender 62 custom shop pickups, would they be an option maybe? -
Hi all,
I have a JV Squier that has has had its pickups replaced sometime.
So my question is, if I want to restore the bass sound as close to the original spec.
as possible, which pickups would be the best choice? It really is a jungle of different
options out there!
JV Precision original-like replacement pickups?

Thanks all of you for your excellent answers!! Seems like it’s agreed on the fender original vintage precision pu:s, so I think I will have a go at them. Both of the ones linked in the quotes below are the vintage ones right?

I’ve tried lots of Precision replacement pickups and these are my favourite. If you want a true vintage Precision sound... Here it is.

If you're looking for the original 'grumpy' Precision sound, how about these?
