LTB - Looking to Buy

We’ve got the GAS thread and the SAG thread, but do we have a Looking to Buy thread?

Anyway, I’m looking to upgrade my Player Jazz pickups. I’m thinking used, first, to try a few out before I plop for a new set.

Does anyone have any decent 4-string Jazz pickup sets they’re looking to get rid of?

Great thread idea.

Great idea, I also think this might be a good landing spot for folks looking for advice on stuff… like what kind of pickups would work well in your Player Jazz if you want to play stuff like XXXX.

I’m doing B2B on a 25 inch scale acoustic bass, and when I finish the course I will probably get an electric P bass (or PJ). I have 3 full scale and 2 short scale options picked out, but won’t let myself meet them in person until I “graduate.”

I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread!

Seymour Duncan pickups are very good. I use the quater pounder ones on my P bass, but the Jazz bass variant sound pretty good too.

If I ever get a jazz bass, these will be the pickups I’m gonna get! :slight_smile:

If you like quarter pounder then consider the Delano, the magnet pole pieces are full size MusicMan style instead of the 1/4”. The attack is so immediate and in your face. Love it.

@JustTim is my bro, gotta take care of him man. He’s the closest neighbor I have on this forum.

Btw, a Carvin trivia for you Timmy, what the heck is a Frank Moalite Carvin.

HAHAHAHA. I literally actually laughed out loud at that. I still am!

I have never heard that name before. I know they had a Frank Gambale signature guitar, but I’m sure that’s not what you’re talking about.

Was he a builder at Carvin or something?

That name doesn’t even ping on a Google search. :slight_smile:
