BassAdder60 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just swopped the stock pickups to Dimarzio P pickups The difference was noticeable 1: Higher output pickup ( a lot ) 2: Better mids 3: growly tone Really simple swop and with adjustable pole pieces you can tweek things further A nice improvement I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I actually think the stock pickup sounds pretty good on my CV 70s, with enough growl and deep warm clarity. Overall I think it's a really great bass. I only swapped the tuners for Schallers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 A good match methinks, Dimarzios were the upgrade in the 70s from what I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1971 had the upgrade when I bought it in 81. Would love to know the action it saw in its first ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price wasn’t a priority in choosing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of reviews about for them, I like a bright aggressive tone with p basses and always wondered if these would be the magic bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great products and fantastic customer service. I’ve been using their pickups in various instruments since the ‘70s. They’re always on my list of pickups to check out when I’m in the market. Glad the above are working out for you, they look tasty too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
