Preamp or pickups...and yes, I have already done a search!

[Rumble]

I have a pedulla thunderbolt 5 which is ergonomically perfect for me. However, whilst the bartolini BC pickups and TC4 preamp combo give fantastic tight low end and mid it is a bit light in the upper register.

I have read around on t'internet and haven't found a definitive answer to which to change first to get the top end I'm after; pickups or preamp?

If i was you,i would replace thr pickups.The classic bass serries dont give bright tone

Thanks.

Any suggestions for replacements because the size appears to be particularly small (~100mm x 32mm) for a 5 string?
