markdavid Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Hi All Was just wondering what the best dark sounding P pickup is for that kind of dark rock type of tone with rolled off treble and boosted low mids (good examples of this are Nikki sixx, Charmer by Kings of leon,[u]some[/u] Kiss stuff) , I have tried the Seymour duncan hot SPB-2 and whilst it had rolled off treble and boosted low mids I found that the lows seemed to suffer to get the boosted low mids , what are peoples favourites for this kind of tone? Edit: Just realised this may be in the wrong section, mods please feel free to move this thread is applicable Edited March 16, 2017 by markdavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saved Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 My ecperience tells me that is more possible you need to change your pre-amp than your pickup. A few years ago my rig was vig cobra select5 and marshall mb150. And i was looking for darker sound. I added tha eden wtdi in the rig,and i ended whith tons of lows. Now i have a 40" p-bass with mudbucker.Still only the bass with the amp is deep but not deep enough.When i open the wtdi,is more deep than i ever need. You can go in shop and try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Probably DiMarzio Model P. Really thick mids and a bit of treble rolloff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimmyc Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I love my Geezer Butler signature EMGs. It doesn't get any darker than Sabbath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
