Ibanez tmb100

[Jimch25]

I have an Ibanez TMB100, another bass in the house has Reflex Red pickups on it

If I was to swap the original Ibanez P pickup with the reflex red, would the preamp in the Ibanez be good enough ? Would it upgrade the bass sound wise ?

Not sure what the preamp in the TMB100 bass is but if it is the same preamp as the one used in the Mezzo bass then the biggest upgrade sonically would be too upgrade the preamp.

Changing pickups in a bass is a bit of a crap shoot really. I have bought "better" pickups to put in a bass and found that the original ones were better. Also your idea of a good bass sound will be different to mine so the only thing I can suggest is you try it and see what you think.
