Just landed a set of these pickups for my old 73 Jazz Bass. The active Duncans I had in there died after 20 years of service. No more batteries for me. These new Febder split coil looked promising.

Now I'm not the greatest wirer-upper, but I got my soldering pencil out and made a stab at it. I must have made a mistake because the both- pup position is seriously out of phase. But individually, these pickups sound awesome! Like a big old stick of butter in a pool of maple syrup! Looking forward to resolving these issues soon.

These Super 55s will replace the N3s some time this year.

Super 55's are installed and gig tested!!!!!

These pickups sound fantastic!!! THIS is how I've been trying to get my old Jazz Bass to sound for the last 20+ years. Loud, fat, and hum-free. Makes me want to sit around and play Motown music all day.

Since the American Deluxes are hybrid (active/passive) the Super 55s would work fine with the switchable 18V active 3-band preamp.

I wonder how these sound compared to the Dimarzio Area J pickups.
