But it does seem very weak and a bit "hifi" for my liking. It's such a lovely bass in every other way so i'd hate to part with it. Decided on the Wizard 84's so hopefully they will help.[/quote] hi there nordstrand nj4s for a jazz bass sound wonderful" imo the di marzio ultra jazz are also good (sadowsky basses use these) lindy fralins are also a good choice" but i would not recommend fender custom shop!!!!!! there not as good in the tone department.....

Not saying that this is wrong just that it made no sense to me. I have since bought the Sadowsky pre and then Aguilar Tone Hammer. I opted to keep the Aggie and moved on the Sadowsky simply because the ability to adjust the mids on the Tone Hammer made such a difference to me. One thing is for sure that there is no way that I could go back to the jazz without a pre-amp now as the difference in tone is huge.[/quote] i totally agree about removing pickups from vintage basses" by adding the pre amp onboard or outboard" the depth & width of tone available is magnified i personally have been disapointed with sadowsky products simply because of the price"hype" build " & final product quality. lastly your 100% on the money about mids" this is where the refined tones truly are.
