neepheid Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 (edited) I suspect this thread may be short (Tonerider or Warman, EOT) but I thought I'd ask anyway in case anyone had any other bright ideas. I'm putting a project together with an aggressively low budget and I'm looking for a great sounding but inexpensive pickup. My current thoughts turn towards the Tonerider Duke (a mildly overwound 12k Alnico 5 job - https://tonerider.com/products/the-duke), but I'm happy to listen to any other ideas you might have! Over to you... Edited November 17 by neepheid added URL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Entwistle should be on your list for consideration. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 I really rate the Wilkinson stuff, just put one on my P bass 'bitsa' and I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 All 3 makes mentioned so far will more than fit the bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 If you can check behind the sofa for 3 quid, I'd go for the Kent Armstrong PBV in the classifieds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 (edited) Not seen the over wound Duke variant... Interesting. Or this? As @Steve Browning posted and beat me to it... but no need for the Sofa-Search, latest was £35 posted! I'd chat up @daveybass Got one in my Squier, and a PJ set in a bitsa.

PaulThePlug Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Just checked back on the Tonerider site... P pups are now £49 + p&p, up from £35. Makes the KA PBV (£58 + p&p) even more of a bargain at £35! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Broke my SD PU and to tie me over I bought an el cheapo no name Chinese thing off ebay. Its still in the bass, the Duncan is still in the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 19 Author Share Posted November 19 I've gone for the Entwistle Neodymium job. Before they put their prices up too! Thanks to everyone who contributed to https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/235314-entwistle-bass-pickups Tonerider is probably still a great pickup too, but a 40% price hike in one go is a bit harsh, left a sour taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Entwistle neo (PBXN?) is IMO very similar to an SD Quarter Pound but with slightly more mids/less scoop, which, again IMO, makes it better. A very good hot P pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) PJ set of the Entwustle PBX/JBX went in my Arai PJ J And a little cocktail-stick-trick to ease fitting... Edited November 19 by PaulThePlug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
