Musiclily Pro JB-70S Alnico 5 Single Coil Neck Bridge Pickups Set 8.3K/7.9K per basso stile Jazz Bass

The neck pickup and cover did not fit my jazz bass body without heavy modification. Otherwise they're decent for less than 40 bucks.

Awesome. Massive low end gig and studio ready. Do yourself a solid and save money on your next build.

I have a Squier J-Bass with Seymour Duncan pickups that I really like, I'm, not a slapper and am not after a bright tone. I use flatwound strings and aspire to sound as much like an upright as I can imply.I happened to be doing some work on the bass (new tailpiece, tone cap, and nut) and decided to try a quick pickup swap and evaluation.If you're someone who expects to EQ your tone through a pedal or amp the Musiclily pickups will probably meet your needs. They're brighter than the SDs, and turning the tone down completely (Jaco tone) still left a bit too much edge for my taste. It's nothing an EQ pedal or amp couldn't improve but, as a comparison of the untreated output, these pickups lack some of the warmth I really value in this particular instrument (if I want Chris Squire brightness I'll grab my Rickenbacker strung with Rotosounds). Lowering the poles a bit from the strings cut some of that brightness, but diffused the sound and made it less defined, I realized that's actually the sweet spot of the SDs: a warm tone that remains well-defined.Bottom Line: These pickups are fine for a J-Bass if your preference is a bright tone, or you expect to process it. But if your goal is a more traditional Motown/Jazz tone, there are better options out there.

These sound very good, excellent quality

At $32.89 for the set, these should definitely be upgrades for a lot of OEM pickups on budget-priced basses. These seem to be made well enough and the sound is perfectly decent.
