mikhay77 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have had a Bass Collection JZ series bass for a while and it plays fantastic,lovely ebony neck and great Japanese build quality but the pick ups were very bright,they look like Seymour Duncans? Had the treble rolled nearly off! So managed to acquire some old 70's Dimarzio's and just fitted em.... Sound is totally different,very slightly lower output,but what a sound! Bass and treble now in the mid position. Really woody,great separation across the strings and good balance between pick ups,nice Honky rear but still plenty of twang. Front pick up has got the almost a P sound? They are split coil pups though,no noise,really impressed. Will see how they cut thru next week at a gig but so far so good [attachment=149546:WP_001572.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Big fan of Dimarzio pups. Never had a bad one TBH. The DP122 is IMO the finest P upgrage available. Seriously thinking about sticking a set of 123's into my VMJ for some added punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've always liked them - warmer than real single coils, but its a sound that works very well in any situation. And I think the cream covers are nice..but that's probably just my generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
