Recommend me a humbucker

[mikebass84]

I'm thinking about upgrading the pickups in my old Tanglewood Warrior III. I am thinking of putting an Entwistle 'JBX' in the neck but not sure what to place in the bridge (humbucker). I don't have a massive budget.

Cheers in advance

I'd take care, when configuring two pickups, to make sure they are a good match for each other output wise. So maybe talk to Entwhistle about a good complement to the neck pickup you've chosen.

Although having just Googled a picture of your Tanglewood, you're going to be somewhat limited in choice - it might be better to get the bridge one sorted first (basically a MusicMan replacement) and find a neck pickup that suits...

I'd start by asking yourself why you want to change, what's lacking in the stock pickups?
Most of the MM style humbuckers will probably be quite loud, so you'll want to get a Jazz style pickup that has a similar output. Or you could look at a MusicMan HS replacement set maybe?

I heard a rumour that Entwistle might be bringing out more bass pickups this year, instead of just P and J!

That said, if you're in a rush, Seymour Duncan make nice MM pickups.. As do Nordstrand but they're quite pricey!
