AOLDHYY Lindy Fralin 4 String Jazz Bass Pickup Set

After months of research, and reading review after review, I finally decided on the Lindy Fralin Jazz Pick-ups for my MIM Deluxe Jazz Fender bass. They are a very popular Bass player's choice for Jazz replacement pick-ups. My MIM bass came with Fender Noiseless pick-ups, which sound really good (despite all the negative comments you see online). I had hoped the Fralin pick-ups would make the bass sound even better. But to my surprise, I like the original Fender Noiseless more. Not that the Fralins sound bad, in fact not at all. They sound much warner, and a tad darker, and definitely have a vintage sound. But in my opinion, and to my ears, the Fender Noiseless pick-ups sound brighter, have way more growl and more punch (everything I was expecting from the Fralins). I changed out the pick-ups twice just to make sure. I still gave them a 4 star review, because they are good sounding pick-ups. I'm just really surprised that I prefer the sound of the original Fender Noiseless pick-ups. Many Bass Players rave about the Fralin pick-ups, and how they bring their basses to life. They just didn't do that for me.

I replaced the factory pickups in my MIM Jbass with these. I pretty much GUTTED my bass as I just wanted a project. I think I played every_single_YouTube video I could find comparing pickups. I knew I wanted passive, and something about Lindy's just struck me as "my tone." Since I replaced, Bridge, nut, pots, pickups, shielded the cavity all at the same time. . . . this might not be completely fair. But. .my bass sounds SOOOOO much more alive now. I guess the analogy I would give is that factory sounds like a person talking to you with their head tucked inside their winter coat. With the Lindy's . . . it like a face to face conversation with no background noise. I am running Ernie Ball Nickel round-wound and they are bright(for my taste.) Yes, I would recommend these to people wanting precise, clean sound.

Love em

I installed these on my MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. The original PUPs were good, these are simply better; clear, well-articulated, with booming lows and crispy highs. Well worth the money! I also had a set on my MIJ Precision bass; I got the WIlbur Bascomb tone I was looking for. And I just installed a set on my American Professional Jazz bass; the stock pups were wimpy. The Fralins made that bass come alive.

A great addition to building our bass collection.

i love the sound of these pickups on my 2011 american deluxe, but I preferred the Nordy's after trying both. they both sounded equally good, but nordy's had better round corners on the casing and it didnt hurt my right thumb upon resting on it. if Lindy made better casings i would have kept them.

Great sounding pickups. Installed them on a parts bass and it's just a beautiful sound- balanced and focused with plenty of good growl, and with great touch sensitivity. A huge improvement over regular pickups.

Amazing tone tone, great upgrade for my bass!
