ahpook Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Feeling rather uninspired by the EMG-HZs in my recently-acquired Spector I decided to have a word with Mike at Gemini Pickups to see if he had anything that might suit. I've bought pickups a few times from him - a rather nice Jazz set and a pair of guitar mini-humbuckers that I put in a guitar for a friend - always helpful and amazing pickups. So, here they are, took about two weeks from ordering to them arriving. I'm really looking forward to fitting them this afternoon. http://www.geminipickups.co.uk/bass_85.html Edited August 14, 2019 by ahpook 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Interested to hear how you get on. I'm having a pair of Geminis in a custom build I'm lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just checking the orientation of the pickups with Mike at Gemini, I'll report back as soon as they're in. Which pickups are you going for ?

My friend/luthier always uses Gemini and recommends them very highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyFuze Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 following with interest. after seeing this I'm keen to get a custom build done with the Degenerates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Fitted the Denegerates yesterday evening and Wow ! The bass has character now, as opposed to the rather mid-heavy bland sound of the EMG-HZs. Definitely more of a single-coil feel, which is what I was after, so Mike was spot on with the recommendation. Well chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
