Hi,

I currently own the classic Fender 70's re-issue jazz bass in 3-Color Sunburst. The bass is superb but I was wondering if its possible to buy the 75 Vintage Jazz Bass Single-Coil Pickups, currently found in the American Vintage ‘75 Jazz Bass?

Also, as I am so happy and impressed with the classic 70's re-issue jazz bass, I am looking at buying the classic Fender 50's Precision Bass in Honey Blonde. Is it possible to buy the 57 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup currently found in the American Vintage ‘57 Precision Bass?

I think updating the pickups in both these basses would really enhance the classic range and it is something I would really like to do to my basses.

Does anyone know if its possible to buy these sets of pickups from anywhere and how much they cost.

Thanks

Hey, whats up? I'm pretty sure you can get them thru Fender. A few years back I installed, or rather had a pro install, a set of Vintage '62 Jazz Bass pick ups that I ordered from Fender. Apparently, it's what they use in the '62 jazz re-issue. Sounds great with the flat wounds! I'm impressed. If I remember correctly they were about $100.00 or so. Good luck, let me know how they sound.

Hey, thanks for your reply. I emailed Fender, here in the UK and the US on consumerrelations@fender.com but not had any reply. I guess I will have to keep searching.
