MEC Pickups - Not sure what to do with them

[cachao]

I have a pair of active 60201 pickups, but no preamp. Don't know much about these TBH, but don't want them to just sit in my spares box if they are any good.

All project suggestions welcome.

BTW, I do not have a J type bass knocking about to use as a project.

Thanks all

They are, in my view, very good pickups indeed. I installed a pair in the Warwick Thumb 4 NT Fretless Tribute I built for our band's bassist. I fitted it with a Seymour Duncan 3 way EQ (the MEC EQ's are, I have no doubt, as good as the pickups but they are VERY expensive).

I was playing it at practice today (sometimes he lets me)...fabulous.

You've probably seen it before, but here it is:

Thanks for that, Andy. Just had a look at your site. That Westone is gorgeous.

Thanks, cachao.

Both of the recent Westones I've done have come out great...they were really top notch basses.

Except - as I've only just realised - the other Westone isn't yet on my website ! The basschat thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243975-westone-pantera-x790-headstock-refurb/"]can be found here[/url]

Any suggestions for a suitable bass that would benefit from installing these?
