hey, i was considering getting Fender 60's Custom Shop Jazz Pickups for my 2006 MIM Fender Jazz bass. what are any thoughts you all have and what would some of you suggest to get to make my fretless sound like a champ?
thanks.

I've got Duncans in mine. True single coils, hot neck and vintage bridge. Sounds really beefy wide open, but I can roll everything off about a third and get an upright tone through the right amp.

I don't have a fretless (yet, ha) but I do like my Seymour Duncan Hot Stack Jazz pickups.

If you are interested in avoiding single coil hum, I have also heard good things about the Fender Vintage Noiseless, the Duncan classic stacks, and (recently) the Dimarzio Area J pickups.

I believe some MIM Jazz basses came with both pickups the same length. If so, You might have to slightly modify the route to use replacement pickups.

strangely, i did not have that issue with installing my duncans. that was so early in my bass tech adventures that i'm not sure i even thought of that. i wonder if duncan has a different length set for MIAs.
