Pickup advice and comments

[Stevo]

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!

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.

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...

I think I need a second mortgage.. £220 a pair eh? But will keep in mind!

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.
