Hey guys!

Looking for some advice on bass pickups...

I have a Jazz Bass (not a Fender, a Tagima, a good Brazilian brand), and I'd like to get some killer pickups for it. I was thinking of Seymour Duncan passive ones, but I am not sure it's the better option, although I've seen it's cheap. Here's the link for the ones I found ($ 55 each): http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemPos=2&TempID=3&STRID=10410&Method=2&CategoryID=210&BrandID=1538&PriceRangeID=0&PageNum=0&DepartmentID=0&pagesize=10&SortMethod=3&SearchPhrase=&Contains=&Search_Type=SEARCH&GroupCode=

Do you guys think these are good pickups for a warm and yet sharp sound? Should I go for active pickups? What's the big difference between those passives and active ones?

I'd like to spend around $100 for the pickups (neck and bridge), what would you suggest me? Going for the quarter-pounder or something else??

Thanks in advance!
