It was a very early bass with the original Lakland Barts and I forget which Bart pre amp, but the sound was one of the best, which is why that bass was my go-to for nearly 14 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be a bad time to tell you Ibanez didn't use DiMarzios? It was their own 'Super P-4' - a very good DiMarzio clone, probably made by Maxon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have already told me this, that's why I used the word 'impersonation' – I know that no element is correct, but most are close enough, and the overall effect is vaguely convincing. It amuses me that I'm using a P to impersonate a Japanese P bass, and a Dimarzio to impersonate a Dimarzio-copy 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 For aftermarket pickups, I really like Dimarzio, EMG, and Bartolini. In fact, I'm currently trying to decide between putting Dimarzio Relentless or EMG LC in my Precision. Bartolini pickups are some of my favourites but I find Dimarzio and EMG to be a bit more aggressive. I like what I've heard from Avedissian Pickups too.

such Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I took a gamble recently with specifying a DiMarzio model P for a P-bass build, mostly based on looks, and so far I love it. It has a bit of a reputation for being dark, but I disagree. It may have a bit less super high freq chime, but it's plenty clear, very focused and somewhat aggressive. I've yet to try it with flats, but so far with rounds it's my fav. Edited August 21, 2021 by such 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 @such Nice... I'm having to make do with some cheapy cream covers for the Ex Sire Pickup kindly donated by @Rumple Got some cheap Jazz Knobs, (Large for V, Small for T...) and some Strat Knobs both sets in Cream to choose from... trying to track down a cream thumb rest, or go matching wood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) OK so far I have some suggestions from you wonderful people. Kent Armstrong Aguilar Dimarzio Pribora Lindy Fender 62 CS Bartolini's Im now lost. I do know I've always loved Aguilars warm sound in every amp ive had. Ive owned so may basses with Bartolini's I have Aguilars in my Nordstrand soooooo. Im intrigued by Lindy Fralin's tbh. had them in a Jazz bass once and they were superb. I feel like I'm asking what should I have for tea tonight to be honest Edited August 21, 2021 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed proper translucent celluloid with a bit of the 3D thing going on in good light. It was fairly direct evening light on the photos, in most conditions it looks much darker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
