Hello Fender Brothers and Sisters,
I have a question that I am hoping that someone here can help me with. own a 2008 Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass. It is the five string model in the Amber finish. As I am sure everyone here already knows, this bass features an 18vlt active system. Here is my problem; I own two German made Warwicks along with my Jazz bass. Both of the Warwicks are 9vlt systems. As far as volume goes, these 9vlt Warwicks are running circles around my 18vlt Jazz Bass. I have the height of the pickups adjusted pretty much as high as they can be while still producing a great balanced tone. I am considering replacing the stock SCN pickups to the Seymour Duncan Basslines Quarter pound 5 string pickup set. Does anybody have any feedback here about why my Jazz Bass's 18vlt system is being beaten so badly by the Warwick 9vlt system? Does anybody have the quarter pound jazz pickups that can provide some feedback here? Lastly, how drastic would the new pickups change the tone of my bass. I like my basses tone, and I also like a very aggressive tone, similar to Justin Chancellor (spelled very wrong?????) from Tool. I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks much!
:twisted:

The Basslines Quarterpounds would work fine with the Fender 18V active preamp. They came stock on the Custom Shop Classic Special Jazzes.

SD Basslines pickups are suitable for use with 9 and 18V supplies, active and passive electronics.
