VilleT

Hi, I have active TT5 with Sandberg Alnico 5 pickups. They sound good, but I would like to have a little bit more upper mids or bite to the sound. Would black labels do that? And is there any other good options? Local store has Dimarzio Ultra jazz pickups for reasonable price for example.

Few weeks ago I was struggling between standard TT5 and TT5 Superlight. I finally bought standard TT5 from BTM-Guitars, and it arrived today. Looks and sounds great! Weight is only 3,7kg.

Thanks! I just found that there is also TT5 superlight with Haussel pickups available, does anyone have experience about them? I have heard that they should be more vintage style pickups.

Hello! I'm struggling to choose between California TT5 active and TT5 Superlight. TT5 has Sandberg's own alnico 5 pickups, and TT5 SL has Black Labels. I have no change to test them because I live in another country. I played standard active TT5 with black labels some time ago, and I liked it. Will the superlight sound roughly the same, or does paulownia body have significant difference for sound of the bass? I'm looking for a good all around J-bass. Wich one of those two basses you would choose for this purposes and why? Thanks in advance!
