dave74200 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hi all, I have a Squier JV Precision which I love the feel of. It plays like butter and has a nice rich vintage tone. My issue is, for the music I play and enjoy playing, my MIM P bass does a better job. I like the aggressive modern tone of the newer bass. I guess that I'm just not a vintage tone type of guy! So I'm thinking; do I replace the pickups in the JV (it's presently all original) or sell/trade it? I don't want to devalue it but would love it to sound like a growly lunatic! Any help would be appreciated, cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Replacing pups wouldn't in and by itself guarantee you an aggressive modern tone, the tone of a bass is the same of the parts; is your MiM ash, whereas the JV Alder, weight/density/resonance all affect tone.
