    Hey Naim, as Stan said check the resistance of each with a multimeter.
    The jazz bass pup the poles spacings will be closer for the neck pup than the bridge pup.
    Also with the Flying V pups I'd say the longer wire is usually the neck pup but the wire lengths look similar.

    Thank you Wokkaboy . The pole spacings are the same on both pickups. I checked both pickups with a multimeter. The pickup with the red wire reads 6.8 and the pick up with the white wire reads 6.18. I hooked them up the the amp and the pick up with the white wire that reads 6.18 with the higher resistance is louder ! I thought the higher the resistance the louder the output ?
