Gibson SG Studio Bass - Pickup replacement

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My drummerist has a Gibson SG Studio bass he noodles on at home. Apparently the pickups are horribly microphonic and he's got to the point of no return and he wants to switch them out for something else. Any recommendations for suitable drop in pup replacements?

Cheers!

After lots of web research, I have gone for the DiMarzio DP120 Model One for the SG style bass I'm building at the moment.

I understand that it was designed as a direct replacement for the Gibson EB neck mudbuckers and has very good user reviews.

Not sure yet about the bridge.

Seymour Duncan neck humbucker for the unmentionable R bass will fit directly in the bridge position. It will sound ok, but no great improvement over the Gibson humbucker fitted to my SG bass. Artec also manufacture a suitable sized bridge pickup.
