Stevo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Oh no... not another "What Pickup..." thread.. sorry,yes... Anyhow, bass is Jazz shaped, Mahogany back, maple top, bird's eye maple neck, ebony board. I'm [u]not[/u] afer a vintage sound, but almost one with Rickenbacker growl, punch and treble if you see what I mean. Cavities have not been routed yet, so I'm open to pursuasion. I've read the reviews etc, but thought I would open it to the wider collective - you. There will be an active pre-amp on the bass, volume for each pickup and bass/treble. Thank you in advance for all replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If the routing's not been done yet, put a ceramic humbucker in the stingray position, I would think that would get you where you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 My new puppy is a Nordstrand Bigman - I replaced a MM pickup in one of my Shukers, and I've got it wired Front coil - Parallel - Back coil on the three way switch, and it's VERY bright and growly. So much so I didn't dare wire it series... It'll do big single coil, and a pretty close approximation to a MM humbucker in parallel, too. There a YT clip of Carey demo-ing it online, and that's pretty close to how mine sounds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbass Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have found that the pickup position plays possibly a more important role than the actual pickups themselves. Might be worth experimenting with that before committing to a specific pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
