need some opinions on new pickups.

i am currently looking at the bill lawrence J-45s and the villex V2JSC.

i have heard and played the J-45s but not the V2JSC.

anyone that have heard both give some feedback?

I'm not a bassist, but one of my friends is a guitar & bass technician. From what he's told me, if all things are more or less equal, go with the pickup that has Alnico magnets as they tend to have better tone.

You may want to ask this over on Harmony Central. Or possibly do a search, it may have been discussed already.
