Homatron Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Does it count as NBD if a single change to a bass you've had for 25 years transforms the sound and makes you fall in love with it again?! I just swapped the pickups in my MIM fretless Jazz bass from stock to CS60s, and... Holy moly! Picture doesn't do justice to the colour. It's a lot "creamier" than the off-white it looks here. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) NPD (New Pickup(s) Day) maybe? Anyway, congratulations. I've personally made a NOBD (New Old Bass Day) thread before, with a rediscovered bass I'd already owned for years.

Lozz196 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Those CS60 pickups, be they Jazz or Precision are great, really transform a bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to appreciate the old ones, even if they need some sprucing up from time to time. NPUD has a certain ring to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homatron Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 @Lozz196 I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I haven't played another bass with CS60s. I'd agree that they have transformed the bass into something much more than it was before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I changed the standard US pickups in my P bass to Lindy Fralins and it significantly improved the sound. Once you make the change you think why didn’t I do it sooner! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble... its got me looking at my Precision too. Though I'm generally happy with the tone I get from it I wonder what it could sound like 🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
