oksocialbass Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the pickups on a Samick Bass I have and have been looking into buying these - [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/emg-pj-set-black/37615"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/emg-pj-set-black/37615[/url] Is there anything I should look at in terms of sizes etc or is it all pretty much standard? Also, is it relatively easy to feed the wiring through to the jack etc myself (the bass has an electronics pack built in to it, with plenty of space etc) Any help appreciated, looking to buy something asap...

GS1000 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi That product from EMG is a kit including active pickups(powered by battery), volume x2 and tone x1 pots, output jack and all the wiring to install into a bass. I think it's designed to upgrade passive basses but could be wired into a preamp too if you knew what you were doing. Is your bass active? It sounds like it. Your pickups may well be passive running into a preamp. If so I'd recommend checking out Wizard pickups. I got a p/j set from them recently and they are really good. £85 for the set. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
