Upgrading an RBX270FL

Recommended Posts

A year or so ago I launched into the world of fretless bass and bought an inexpensive RBX270FL bass from evilbay as a test bed for my curiosity. I'm now very much enjoying the who f/l experience and wondering about fixing the couple of minor niggles e.g. crackling pots or possibly a slightly posher bass.

I then got to thinking why not consider improved pickups and electronics instead as I like the neck, the light weight, and the feel of the bass generally. What options do I have in this respect (pups/electronics)? On balance I'd like to stay passive and not get involved with routing but just something I could (relatively) easily change over. Maybe some posher looking knobs too.

What do you think lads and lasses?

Is this easy to do yourself or is it one for an experienced person? :)

Replacing knobs is a very easy job - you get screw on or push fit ones.
Putting in new pups is easy too but requires some level of confidence with a soldering iron.
Is your bass a PJ style?[/quote]


Yes it's a PJ configuration. I've been looking at the Wizard site as they seem good value compared to the known brands. Any experience of their wares?
