What Pickups should I install?

Hi all,

Recently bought a beautiful spalted maple Sandberg Ken Taylor from the Bass Gallery. 

(photo attached. She’s a beaut!)

I cannot EQ it to a place where I’m happy with the sound. It comes with 2 Sandberg humbuckers. 
 

It’s too ‘Warwick-y’. Way too much high-mids. Too funky.

What I’d prefer is a more chunky, full sound. My other bass is Lakland which I bloody love.

I’m pretty useless when it comes to gear so does anyone have any opinions, options, suggestions. 
 

Thanks!

That is a beautiful looking bass, congrats. Re the pickup issue, I don’t know much about Laklands but why not contact them see if they do something with a similar sound that fits the config of the Sandberg?

Thanks man, it’s a great bass. Thinking of doing this yeah, MusicMan shaped Bartolini’s. 👍
