HumblePie Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Sad to see the change of pickups, it was great with the Single Coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was "weird" jazzbass because the construction and mahogany body. It also had weird "dry" high-middle aggression that I didnt mind and some sound engineers also commented. I think it was OK with the singles but now its more dynamic and better response. But of course, its just a matter of opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumblePie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Of course, if you like the Humbucker sound, go for it. The open treble register and the responsiveness was great with the Single Coils, but most players associate Fodera with this Humbucker tone I guess.
