Hi, I'm new to the forum and my experience with the technical language is not the best, I hope they understand. I have purchased a bass Sx SWB1 active circuit, mahogany body, musicman style pickups in the bridge and neck jazz style, the model is a copy of a Warwick Jazzman bass. I'm very happy with the sound of its pickups !!. While I never used high-end bass, the sound seems comparable to a Spector Legend Custom ... with good midrange tone without losing the bass. His tone is spectacular both in style fingers or pick style, is really aggressive. We know that Warwick Streamer Jazzman bass pickups used Mec.
The question is: which pickups recommend me to replace the original pickups Sx, not walk away from this charming "Spector tone" perceived my ear rookie ?. Seymour Duncan pickups presents three alternative musicman type: SMB-4AC, SMB- SMB- 4 and 4D and a few jazz type ...
Thank you very much from Argentina and I apologize to the forum for my faulty English translation.

Lindo, el bajo que tenès, Pepe. 4 o 5 cuerdas?

Si los micròfonos te gustan, porquè los querès cambiar?

Thanks for answering my question LTKojak and all users who felt interest in my obsession. The four-string bass is really not say I know whence its " good taste " . Myth or reality argues that replacing the pickups or any accessory in a low-end bass , improvements were obtained ... Like I said, I'm very impressed with this low !! I had two active bass a Yamaha RBX 374 and bass Epiphone Thunderbird Pro and really this bass has a different tone. I repeat , it is not hence its " medioso " body , wood neck , pickups , tone etc

Welcome to the forum.

Regarding replacement pickups, do you seek the actual sonic qualities of Musician and Fender pickups or just something that will fit directly into the existing pickup cavities and sound good?

How fussed are you about noise-cancellation?

How fancy do you want to get with pickup coil permutations?

Finally, do not apologise for a budget bass. If it plays and sounds good enough, it is good enough. I have an Overwater/Tanglewood Aspiration Standard bass guitar that I have modified with SD/Basslines AJJ-2 pickups. On recordings, you would swear that you are hearing a Fender with, maybe, a little compression and mixing desk EQ applied.

Funkfinger Hello, thank you for your words, it is my pleasure your help !!. Try to be simple and not confuse them with my limited technical language and poor translation into English, I use google translator:nervous: ... I'm looking for any suggestions to improve the quality of my pickups Sx generic and maintain that similar tone to Mec pickups Bass Jazzman Warwick. Run my bass with a pick, SansAmp RBI, I like the tone Spector Legend Custom, generally Warwick bass and misica I practice style is metal (Pantera, Metallica). You know a pickup set with these characteristics, par replace my set ?. I could think of some alternative pickups Seymour Duncan SMB, alnico or ceramic? ... Respecting the cavities and the original active circuit. No need to switch serial / parallel, would not give useful and usually I use it blend in position 0, opening the two pickups at the maximum. I have not thought about the noise cancellation, you you mean the hum of single-coil Jazz model ?, I covered body cavities with paint and graphite sheets of copper.
I also I agree with you on some good bass sound budget, I have a 75 Fjb Sx is great. Thank you all for your patience and dedication.
