Anyone used one of these pickups , am hearing mixed opinions on them , some say they are nothing special , other people say they are very nice pickups. I am currently trying to decide between these pickups, the wizard 64's , the Fender original 62 and the Fender custom shop 60's

I put a set on a J bass a few months ago - very nice, but also traditional. Output is fine, sound is what I'd expect from a good passive J. If you're wanting something brighter/more aggressive/slappy then its worth looking around for "overwound," split coil or active options.

One thing is to decide if you can live with single coil hum - it bugs me, but I love the trad J bass sound (or souped up with Aguilar outboard preamp). One day I'll explore the various split coils that claim to have the same sound...it never stops, does it?
