chris_b Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Guys, has anyone experience of replacing the standard pickups on a Sandberg TT5 Jazz bass with Bartolini Dual In-line Hum Cancelling pickups? I believe these are the 59J model. I have a Sandberg TT5 which sounds OK, but I need better than OK, so I'm looking at these Barts as a replacement. Any comments. Cheers Quote
itu Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I have old Js in my 5-string. Dark, full sound, which I really like. If you are after some zing and snappy slap sound, try something different. 1 Quote
chris_b Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 I'm a Precision guy, so I want fat, warm, articulate and clean. Thump and low mid fullness required in spades. Quote
Chiliwailer Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I think the 59J you refer to is from the Original series; they also have a Classic series version. I use a Classic series MM pickup on my Ray. I always liked the Original, but found it too dark at time, the Classic remedies that for my taste, so just a heads up that you may have another option. Quote
