best jazz pickup to add to precision?

[ebenezer]

As the title above suggests, i am wanting to add a jazz pickup to my precision bass. the split precision pickup by nature has great output
and i want the bridge (jazz) to have a good match output wise along with good tone for that jaco sound.....would i be better placing the pickup in the 60s or 70s position.......what would you recommend?

cheers

That would depend what pickup is in the bass to start with if you're just considering adding a jazz.

I added a jazz pickup to a P that was running a Fender Original P pickup and it never worked.
I pulled both pickups out and replaved them with a PJ set by Aguilar and it made a world of difference.

I recently had 2 Precisions converted to P/J.
Firstly, my Squier Classic Vibe. I was so impressed with it, that I had my Fender RW P done too. Both conversions were done by the superb luthier Dave Dearnaley, in Cardiff. I'm not quite sure which "position" the J pup is in actually - I left that decision to Dave, as he's so knowledgeable & experienced.

I had him put Entwistle PBXN and JBXN pickups, and instantly loved the sound. Then I got him to put a JBXN into my RW. The fitted Fender pickup then sounded a little "wishy-washy" compared to my Squier, and so I fitted a PBXN to that bass too...
I'd recommend the Entwistle pickups - they're very punchy, while still sounding vintage, and they're cheap
