Replacement pickups for Dean Stylist: Recommendations?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm wanting to swap out the stock pups on my Dean Stylist Cabbie bass for something a bit more vintage and warm sounding.
From what I know, the stock pups are actually guitar pickups and are in an awful black plastic.

I want something a bit more retro looking (Chrome) and definitely retro sounding.

So far I've seen DeArmond Gold Tones, Gretsch/TV Jones Thundertrons, Darkstar and a few others.

Will any of these pickups help with the feedback issue these instruments can sometimes have?

Anyone got any good recommendations on this?

Cheers Colin

No, I don't know, but if you do find out, let us know :)
If I had the money I'd go for these from The Creamery to replace the pickups on my Dean Stylist: http://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/classic-custom-double-track-humbucker-pickup-set.html - because they are custom jobbies you could ask to have them made to give the sound you are after. They are cheaper than the TV Jones in the UK too.
