adriansmith247 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Does anyone have a K&K Bassmax pickup that they would like to sell? I am going through a phase of trying out pickups cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyd Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 This probably isn't helpful, but I bought a J-tone pickup after owning a BassMax, and I found that the J-tone was similar in terms of sound and feedback resistance, but better and cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyd Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 This is the one I have https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204165492972?hash=item2f893630ec:g:jwYAAMXQn11RfS6F It's very solid and reliable. I use a Realist now as it's a bit more natural sounding, but the J-tone gives a good even tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I had one of those J-Tones. Mine broke (after several years use, so I'm not faulting it for that). Out of curiosity I dissected it to see how it was made, and it's actually quite different inside from the Bass Max in terms of the type of element used. It does have the sort of thick, solid sound that people associate with the Bass Max, but I wouldn't necessarily view it as a version of the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
