    Fender Jazz bass Pickup question "Noiseless"??

    A friend on mine recently installed a new set of Gen 4 Noiseless Jazz pickups in his MIM Jazz bass. If you have experience with them, are they truly noiseless? His seem to have typical single coil noise. Thanks.

    Filter boost Placement on grid

    Filter boost Placement on grid

    For me, the Compressor is right after In 1 Block. Thinking about this more, if the filter boost is placed right before the output block, yes it will increase the tails but at the same time it will boost the unaffected signal too, and should do so equally.

    Filter boost Placement on grid

    The current placement is after amp & cab, before all the effects. Just to provide all the details. I have a controller set up on the EV-1 to control the Filter level 0 to 3.3, as well as Input Trim 0.3 to 1.3, and High Treble -5.0 to 0 in the amp block.
