Yeah they do look good and really well priced, the bumpf indicates they’d be a higher output the my existing one. Thanks 🙏🏽

yes can’t find any lovers of Ali express here 😆 I’m still in two minds re the mod and a few things to consider the position is quite close to the bridge so maybe that’s the issue ? Done

Ok that’s handy to know. I’d read that Alnicos because of their content had a higher out put.The roswells on the HB are ceramic that’s why I was considering an upgrade grade. Strangely enough I forgot to raise them (as someone mention on this is thread) to see if there would be a marked different, so I’ll try that first. I’m glad I started asking around here though 👍🏽

Hi Thank you all for your suggestions. Just to clarify I’d love the option of having a pbass and stingray at my disposal in one bass but this isn’t the bass for all the reasons you’ve all so kindly mentioned. Not even sure the Sandberg California which this bass is modelled could do that either ?) my issues have been the imbalance in out out between the 2 sets of pups I’ll look at the Warmans and Wilkinson’s then thank you all for your input 🙏🏽👍🏽

Why not get the EBS Stanley Clarke and a Realist and blend them? This Will give you the best of both worlds and with independent HPFs you can tweak the tone and avoid feedback. Appreciate this probably adds another few hundred quid onto your search for tone but perfection isn’t cheap!

Not sure if anyone has seen the Chris Min Doky interview with Geoff at Discover Double bass ? He made a valid point which kind of did my head in. The reason the mainly uses the Yamaha Silent is that the mic sound is so much more “double bass friendly “ than any peizo. It’s true piezos allow one to be heard but do they truly represent the sound of a big f*** off acoustic chamber ? No not really.So having just purchased the Krivo I’ve essentially saddled myself with a massive acoustic pbass sound.To conclude I’m not getting a silent yet to expensive. The Krivo will do for now it has solved so many problems but the nagging feeling of not hearing the full acoustic sound is buggin me 😆🙏🏽👋🏽

Hi. Thanks for your help so far this site has been a god send. I’m Now looking at modding my HB Enhanced 4 string by replacing the bridge humbucker. Not sure I want to spend a fortune don’t want to buy a pick up that’s worth more than the bass 😆 but it definitely needs the upgrade.I’m thinking Wilkinson WJM there’s one on Ali Express for £10.99. I’m not looking to get an exact MM sound already have that on other basses but just want to get a more even blend volume wise between the existing PJ pu and the humbucker.I can’t remember if I’ve had a Wilkinson before( I know the old memories going) so thought I’d inquire here ❓ 🙏🏽 Thanks PF
