tom1946 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 As title, I love the bass as it's very light but after a P bass it feels a bit lifeless and thin. What pickups would drop straight in and give it some clout at the bottom end? It's an active bass and currently bog standard pre amp wise. Thanks for any suggestions.

christhammer666 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 the sr500 and sr600 have the bartolinis in them. I should imagine you can put them into the 300 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 They use Nordstrand Big Singles in some of the prestige models which sound amazing. Not sure if they would be a direct fit for this model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The only ones I've found that would fit in my SR300 (the older one with the style sweep control) would be a set of Barts, probably the ones they use in the 500 and 600. Problem is, a set costs about the same as the bass itself. I did something else to mine, I ripped out the active eq and went passive. It gives a slightly better tone imo. The only noticeable issue that remains is the pick up output is still quite weak - although mine does increase a little when I switch to series (I had a series parralell switch put in). I did try and source a s/h 500 to rip the pickups and electronics out. Unfortunately they don't come along very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
