JimBobTTD Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I love EMGs. I love how they look, but more importantly, I love how they sound. I have a 40CS and a 40DC in my main bass and I'm debating putting in two 40Ps in my backup. But.... I usually rest my thumb on the pickups. EMGs have a bit removed for the screw, as in this: and I find it really rather uncomfortable. I don't want to put a thumbrest on the bass as this would move my thumb higher than it wants to be, which is on the pickup. Sticking blutack there is a possible solution, but will probably not be very effective and I don't think I'd want something sticky there. Filling the gap with a more permanent solution will mean I can't access the screw. Any ideas? I suppose even other pickups might be a good idea, but I'll need that EMG sound which, I assume, is only available from EMG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Move your finger a tiny bit to the right or left? You could try getting a thin bit of plastic and taping it to the side of the pickup, then you could still access the screw without even taking it off.

JimBobTTD Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look for some plastic to put on top and some gasket too. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
