i got one of those black and chrome squier precisions on saturday. ive replaced the neck with a fender one and i'm going to put either seymour duncans or di marzios in it. the novelty of a mirror scratchplate wears off pretty quickly, so I'm thinking of putting either a tort or black scratchplate on it.

this raises two questions.

1)which pickups?

2)which scratchplate?

you can see the bass on [url="http://squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0321503506"]the squier site[/url] or the actual one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8258&hl=fender+porn"]here[/url]

No active pups! (eg EMGs!)

ok, i'll add wizard to the poll.

what do you mean by off the shelf, are wizard custom made?

and how much do wizards cost? bartolinis are too expensive, i'm looking for something in the same general price range as the basslines and the dimarzios. £120 tops.

1. Wizard - yes you can ring them and they will wind 'em to your spec

2. Where are you getting your Bart prices from? Thomann have ALL the Bart Ps for just over £100.....


:)

PS now you've told us what you play, I'd say you only have one option..... SD 1/4 pounder..... will give a gruff aggressive tone which is dead easy to overdrive for punk and Metal...

-and it looks much better in the flesh.

The DiMarzio set with the model J (not the ultra) is my favourite for a vintage tone that [b]I've[/b] heard.

Hear clips of the model J [url="http://www.vial-family.ch/bass/"]here[/url].

I voted for Tort as well. I've just ordered one for my black Highway-one, should be here tomorrow.
It will be the first Tort i have owned. previously I had a black JV Squier and that had a mirror one on it. I still have the plate at home but its got a few hologram stickers on it. God, what was i on back in the 80's ;-).
voted for other in the PUP pole. I have a SD and dont really like it, not tried the others but i do like the stock fender PUP on my HW-one.
