Novice fender jazz bass player here. Can anyone tell me what pickups are generally considered to be the most sought after or prized, and why? Typically, how much do they cost?

I think Custom Shop's p/u are most sought after, it gives good tone and close to the classic Fender sound. I like my EMG set up, others might like Duncans. It's all about you're own taste, what you like might be something I wouldn't do, vice versa. My EMGs are active btw, I like the fat tone. The music I play are Hard Rock to Metal to NYHC, so it's the sound that I need(and like) :)

I had a post like this and someone recommended Lindy Fralins to me because they have a pre-CBS Fender tone, which I was looking for. They were about £120 off of ebay for both.
