FDP Forum / Fender Bass Guitars and Bass Amps / Road Worn Jazz w/Antiquity II's ??

z4string New Engalnd ~ CT Timthebassplayer	Mar 8th, 2012 09:22 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I have a 6o's classic with Nordstrands and a custom J bass with Bartolinis /preamp. The new RW that I picked up plays great and sounds good but leaves me wanting more output and "nut" like my other basses. I thought about another set of Nordys but they would be a little too shiny in the RW. Has anyone dropped Duncan Antiquity II's into their RW Jazz? Did it make much difference over the stock pickups? Opinions appreciated. Thanks- TW (This message was last edited by z4string at 09:23 PM, Mar 8th, 2012)

But you know Fender, maybe the pickups I played are not the same wind as in your bass.

hands5 u.s.a	Jun 25th, 2012 01:38 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic ya know I did this with my RW Jazz and I ended up going back to the stock pickups.Normaly I would change out the stock Fender pickups because I didn't think they were all that great,but the ones that came in the RW were really, really good YMMV.

More grind and output as well as extra percussiveness. I use a cheesy Behringer bass OD pedal with my passive pickup bass to get that gets that "hot pickup and low headroom preamp" tone.
