just got gifted a mim fender classic player jazzmaster, it's pretty nice, but i feel like the pickups are lacking. from what i understand the pickups in these guitars aren't even true jazzmaster pickups? i'm curious to hear what people like in their jazzmasters. i'm looking for a proper set of single coil soapbars. budget is almost nonexistent since the guitar was free i was looking at the fender pure vintage and v-mod jazzmaster pickups because i can get them at a steep discount but i have no experience with them afaik. maybe one of the nicer jazzmasters at work has these pickups but anyways, what do you y'all think?

I put an Antiquity I in the bridge and Antiquity II in the neck, I really like that mixture - warms up the bridge and keeps the neck position from getting dark.
i don't have a JM, but from experience with other Fender formats i'd also lean towards Fender CS pickups or Duncan Antiquities. there's also a guy in England who goes by Mojotone whose pickups look interesting. i played a JMJM with Lollars when the Mascis model was a new thing, and found them a bit too surfy for my tastes.

If you want single coil jazzmaster pickup sounds, AV65s are excellent. I have tried Antiquities and some others and for a little while I was able to pretend they sounded better because I spent more money, but I always ultimately realized that's not true.
