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

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.

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.

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.
