i'm looking to replace the pickups in my Jaguar

i'm thinking Seymour Duncans

and i'm thinking either

the Quarter Pound for Jazz BassĀ® SJB-3

or the Hot for Jazz BassĀ® STK-J2

Known artists for the Quarter Pound include: Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 and the Bassist from Ratt

for the the Hot For Jazz Bass artists include Duff McKagan

what are your thoughts on either pickup or your recomendations for Pickups

i'm looking for the Rock and Roll/Heavier kind of rock

I recommend DiMarzio model P's, punchy and warm, and it should just drop in without any modification, and on top of that, they're pretty cheap:

The ones in my current axe are the DiMarzio DP123 Model J Bass Pickups and they're pretty sweet. Definitely worth the cash I shelled out for them and i'd recommend them to anyone and everyone, as I just love them like no other. The best sounds ive ever heard come out of my bass were due to these pickups:

Those are the ones in the J-bass my friend lent me indefinatley. I really love the bass for those things, even though it's just a Mexican-made model.

well let me say now my prefereces in tone are

Bass about 9 Low mids about 4 Mids about 7, High Mids about 7 and highs about 8ish 9ish

thats is i had a 4 band knob EW set

i have a Ten band EQ on my Amp, and thats about how i have my settings

maybe its more like

6 Low, 8 Low Mids, 7 Mids, 6ish 7ish High Mids, 7ish 8ish High Mids

anyway, i like a Bright Tone with a nice kick in it with a Nice Bottom on it, so basically anything through an All Tube Ampeg

but, i still want Bright Kick in the Chest.

i play alot of Funk aswell, so i'm diggin on the bright tone... but i like to boost the mids for finger playing, and scoop for slap...

Ahahaha, I guess I had that Silvertone P in my head, well, for a Jazz, I'm actually not a huge fan of the Dimarzio's. Lindy Fralin's all the the way, have them in my Jazz, love 'em, nice and bright but have a lot of punch. Tad pricey though.

Neodymium magnets in there, use the same ones in the EBMM Bongos, sound great.
