dannybuoy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 A DiMarzio Model J would be a good complement to the BB I reckon. You want something powerful so it can match the output of the P! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 So the best thing I think about the new Yammy’s is that the pick up sizes are standard now (think I am correct) it opens up the possibility of changing it the whole PJ set of there is a specific balance you like. Dont discount the EMG Geezer Butler set - very nice they are too. As Cam said Aguilar, they have a nice pre-amp as well. World is your oyster with a well crafted bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep on looking anyway cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I changed the stings to Ernie Ball Flats and it made a big difference ( for me anyway), a nice P thump ! This is a great bass to play, fast low action and it's sound can cut through the mix big time, only gripe I have is the hum from the bridge pup, but then it's a single coil and that will happen no matter what make of bass you have. Has anyone changed the bridge pup, if so what make and model, I love the sound but not the hum. cheers Hum tends to come with active basses, especially those who play on stage with speakers, lights, radios, monitors and even stage fans. Do you still get hum when it's in passive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It's a single coil J, so it will hum active or passive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobasserk Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If I could be a consultant at Yamaha...I would try to convince them to built pu frames where any other brand could fit in and still keep the surround design. Best of both worlds. Still I don't like the design without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobasserk Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 It's a bit like a Fender P without pickguard. Still a Fender but no "real" P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
