3 Questions...

[lemoley]

Hey guys, well here they are:-

1. Are there any UK websites where you can buy left handed Fender Jazz scratchplates (other than white)?

2. What pickups do you suggest I should buy for my Jazz, considering I play all sorts of music so want them to be as versatile as possisble.

3. Where can I buy them (again a UK website please)?

Cheers, Mike :thumb:

and will they fit straight into a Fender Jazz (MIM)?

[kilian]

Yes they do.

I would DEFINITELY go for a Model J in the bridge position. And add a series/parallel switch for the pickup. Then you will have the perfect secks tone from a jazz bass.. Well.. almost.

I recorded everything with my bridge pickup in series with 4for1.. http://www.myspace.com/4for1 growly, fat and punchy. That's Dimarzio

well just bought a set of the Dimarzios :thumb:

thanks guys, cant wait to install them, which leads me to question 4. Are they hard to install?

[Killer Fridge]

I would have (and have done) bought the Pickups from the US. Postage is absolutly minimal, and theyre about half the price. Highly reccomended (but a bit late!)

[lemoley]
