theosd Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi all, I have just bought this dandy Squier Precision Standard 5'er (though it has a Fender decal) and was looking to replace the pickups. Upon browsing this forum I saw Entwistle were recommended as a decent budget brand however they don't appear to make a 5 string set of J pickups. As such I was hoping to enlist the ever reliable BC community for a bit of advice? Regards, Theo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I believe that Wilkinson make 5 string jazz pickups, watch out for the overall size and the string spacing though as fender 5 strings are usually 18mm string to string but from memory these basses are more like 19-20mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input; I've measured and they are 18mm at the neck pickup, more like 19 at the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I freely admit I'm fuddled, but give the pickups a measure - I seem to remember a variant of Squier 5 that used 4 string pickups. The voices lie, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pair for my Yamaha ( and some custom work ) for £75 ( 5 string ) you got a fantastic deal there! quarter pounders are at least £60 each, a pair is about 115 if you shop around, great pickups but not really in the same price bracket as wilkinsons and entwhistles Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) talk to @Matte_black, he makes his own from scratch to order and they are awesome. I scored some Geddy Lee pups on ebay for £30 recently. Edited September 18, 2018 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
