Clarky72 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So I'm building a new bass. I'm looking for a jazz and a musicman pickup in white or cream. The jazz is easy enough as there's loads of replacement covers available, but does anyone know of a company who make great jazz and humbuckers in white or cream? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky72 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 They seem to do great jazz in cream but no humbuckers/soapbars/musicman pickups sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Try Herrick pickups, I`m sure Martin will be able to sort something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I bought a set of cream covers on EBay for my Precision and simply fitted them over the pickup that I had and liked. I'd looked at DiMarzio but this seemed the easiest sensible option. It cost me just a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem the only way to get a white musicman pickup is to buy a cheapo off ebay and just use the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I was amazed at how easy it was to do too. I'm a complete luddite when it comes to anything technical and this was surprisingly easy. Perfect fit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes I`ve got one of their Precision pickups - pretty powerful, less vintage voiced than those in my US Precisions, so less low-mids, and really works with dynamics of playing, can sound clear as a bell, you know, that piano like tone, but hit hard and the gain comes in nicely.

However, as was mentioned in another thread, you can buy a real Musicman one for about £10 if you order it from a shop. You should be able to buy a whole pick up the same way.
