I have been a fender bass fan my whole career (all sixteen years). I just bought a mexi jazz. It's not bad, on the contrary however I want to upgrade the pickups. I love the sound of the Geddy Lee jazz. I feel that every jazz bass should sound like this. I know that a good portion of that sound is the maple fingerboard. I am trying to get that dirty Geddy Lee sound. Would it be the 60's custom shop pickups or do I go with the 62' reissue? The only thing I don't think I would like is that brass strip that goes under the bridge to ground the pickups. As I said I am trying to get that dirty Geddy Lee thump. Also I want as much output without going active (not knockin' active pickups all of my basses except my jazz are active) Please help me!!!!!!!!

I would go for the 60's CS pickups, I had those in a Mexican Jazz I owned, and the tone is lovely, with plenty of dirt...

Thanks man!!!! I looked at the Geddy Lee specs and all it said were USA vintage pickups. I love any Fender. I don't care much for the Squiers though however they are getting better (vintage mod). The role that I play in my band requires me to be a tone junkie. With an american you really don't have anything to worry about. With the Mexican's (I'm not knocking them, there great basses!!!) you don't get as good of tone as you do with the americans, and the output and impedance on the mexi's aren't as good as the americans either. Do you think that the cobalts will provide the high output with dirty tone? I really want to get the custom shops, I just have to convince my wife why I need to spend $200 on pickups!!! Thanks for the response and your help!! Get back with me about those cobalts!!!! Anyone else your opinion is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!!!! Miketallica315 :twisted:
