Fender Standard Jazz Bass Pickups.

[Hobbayne]

I'm looking at replacing the pickups on my Indonesian made Fender Standard Jazz. I am looking at at a Fender vintage 62 set.

Will these fit? I know some replacement P ups need a bit of jiggling to fit the cavities.

Should drop straight in with no mods

[Stub Mandrel]

Yep should be a good fit.

 

They will give a modest output level and a rich vintage sound.

I'd also look at the Fender Pure Vintage 66 pickups. I've bought a couple of sets now and they're excellent.

Thats great cheers. Its only a back up bass, but the ceramic pickups that it comes with sound a bit thin to my ears.

The Jazz Bass' natural scooped sound [with everything dimed] often needs a little help - if you set your bass & treble on the amp to about 2 o'clock, that always helps. Also, passive Jazz pickups sound best when set closer to the strings. (6-7mm for neck pickup & 3-4mm for bridge pickup.)

 

I'll be interested to hear your findings if you do end up swapping the pickups.
