The Burpster Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I've got my project bass up and playing..... Started life 26 yrs ago as an Ibanez Blazer, I have not altered the wood ( it would be sacrilige to do so! ) but everything else has been updated ...... Except the pups, Now I'm at a crossroads and undecided. Its a std split P bass pup and I have the Ibanez adjustable pole pup in it still. Its OK but sounds a bit zingy if that makes sense? So I was wondering what experience you folkies have of the Bartolinis, Dimarzio, and Low winder replacement P pups? I've treid the SD 1/4pounder and it just sounds wrong for this beastie.... (that being said I might add the SPB-2 to this list !) Opinions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 C'mon folks some of you must've had experience with swapping split P pups for exotic ones? I'll now chuck in the Schaller PB6 and the Seymour Dunc, SPB-2 (humbucker, not 1/4pounder) into the foray for opinions..... I've got a serious GAS problem and want some numbers off you guys...... B.

Sibob Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've had both the Dimarzio DP122 & a Bartolini p'up in my P-bass. From what i remember, the Dimarzio is real nice (i havn't had it in for a few years), hotter then a standard passive p'up. The Bart is a bit more of a 'compressed' sound, typically Bart, but is quite quiet. Most people will tell you that Barts really do benefit a lot from an active preamp to realise their potential! I think in the next few weeks i'm going to put the Dimarzio back in, so my Bart might be up for sale Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
