Hi,

I have active TT5 with Sandberg Alnico 5 pickups. They sound good, but I would like to have a little bit more upper mids or bite to the sound. Would black labels do that? And is there any other good options? Local store has Dimarzio Ultra jazz pickups for reasonable price for example.

I have a set of black labels in a passive TT, definitely no lack of bite in them to my ear, but I've never tried Sandbergs Alnico 5s for comparison.

I took out the black labels from my TT4 and stuck in EMG J set and their preamp.

Apology's to the Admins, and please remove if its against the rules.

 

Ive just put up for sale a set of Oliver Reidel Black Label pickups and tone controls over on the Accessories & Other Musically Related Items.

 

 

I thought this might be the appropriate to flag it...

 

Regards

 

Dave

I’m always loath to share my playing online because I’m hardly the best player in the world but I’ve been getting so many compliments about the sound of my new VM4 since I got it that it’s getting silly. This was at our local jam on Monday when I got up to do a Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty number. This was filmed on someone’s phone and sent to me but the bass sounds so rich and growly it’s unreal. I so love the feel and sound of this bass. This is just the P (or V) pickup solo’d in passive mode, I think, but the tone is great (in my opinion). No effects, just a Tonehammer amp and a couple of MarkBass 1x12s.

 

I love this bass! No wonder none of my other basses are getting any playing time at the moment!
