Aerodyne Jazz Bass change to Seymour Duncan pickups.

Ankhanu

I have a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass, still stock set up. I'm intending to swap out the bridge to a Bad *Horse's Patoot* II and swap out the pickups for Seymour Duncans. I'm planning on using their SPB-1 Vintage Precision and the SJB-2b Hot Jazz. Anyone have experience with these pickups? Have any thoughts on their tone/response?

I am working on my Aerodyne Jazz bass; I put on BASSLINES 3/4 LB 'P' pickups and bought new pots but they did not act right, had a scratchy sound, so I have an other pair of volume pots on order - the original Fender pots -you need the LONG shaft. ..................

The problem I have is the wiring diagram, the one fender sent me is not how the pots were wired! So I just cut the seven wires off the pots and will wire it up per the fender diagram. I'm putting on a BASSLINES 'J' Vintage pickup also because mine loses it's volume at the mid points!

I am removing the 'tone' pot, never use tone and will just wire the pots directly to the jack bypassing the tone pot which I removed and will use some sort of decrotive cover for the open hole. It will be finished off with a set of Elxeir 45 - 105 strings.

I love this bass. I have a Rickenbacker and an American Deluxe Jazz bass.
