Bearfist Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have just sold the bass in question but i recently had a Darkglass Tone Capsule installed in an ABZ, sounded mega in that bass but quite coloured which is fine if that's what you're after.

Kev Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yup, depends what you are after. The Darkglass Tone Capsule was literally made for Dingwalls and Dingwall pickups, it has got its own tone but its a magnificent one. Not one if you want passive and active to sound the same when flat. Glockenklang is standard. I would look at Nordstrand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
