EMG MM5TW Pickup - where from?

I use an EMG-BQC [i]control[/i] with two EMG-HB pickups and I think it sounds great.

EDIT - I don't use a BQC [i]system[/i] because it's a Les Paul bass and I don't want a blend control. I have a volume for each pickup (25k pot which comes with the pickup) and a traditional selector switch instead - the summation of all that then feeds into the BQC.

I care not for blend controls - I end up using them as switches anyway. I'm sure it makes a difference if you use 66% neck pickup and 34% bridge, I'm just saying that I don't care :)

Obviously, an EMG system as opposed to a control is a waste of money and components on a single pickup bass!

One of my builds has an MM5TW in it with an EMG BQC Control EQ (you use the master vol that comes with the PU) and it sounds epic with nickel D'Addarios on it. By far my fav recording bass. Would highly recommend.

Is that single pickup mate?

Was it easy to fit?

Yes, it's just a single pickup in the 'sweet spot'. It's was all easy to fit. You need to read the destructions carefully and dry run it out of the instrument, but no soldering or faffing around....
