I've got the yamaha pacifica (112 HHS config... )
sorry that i could not give any links since this is my first post.
I'm thinking of changing the pick-ups in a way to have better jazz sound...
Also I want the humbucker with cover ( I will also change the knobs and the pickguard...),
Well my question is I looked at DiMarzio mostly due to it's price and would like to have your suggestions...
 
you might check out benedetto pickups. They make a lot of different designs... Andy Summers from the Police uses their guitars and pickups on some of his work.
 
They are pretty expensive though, so if you're on a tight budget these are probably not for you.
 
I put a Dimarzio PAF classic DP195 in the bridge of my les Paul to replace the 30 year old pickup that came in it. It has the chrome cover that I was also looking for to match the neck pickup, and I'm satisfied with it. Its a medium power so it should respond alright to jazz I would think.

Seymour Duncan Jazz (great pickup), or a Bartolini PBF-55 (I think that's the model number, though you might want to check if that is the lower output pickup, which is what you are going to want).

Seymour Duncans are great but i've not seen any with a cover otherwise i would not think much, but i will certainly take Bartolini into account...
Any suggestion about single coils this is where i really could not decide...

thanks also to the ones that replied..
