No, never played in San Antonio... I am not gigging frequently these days, although we had a gig last week.
At any rate, the MK-1s are great pickups. And you have a great price on them. Good luck on the sale! |

But I think the nordy/audere combo will open up the sound a bit more and they maybe a little sweeter and deeper based on past experience. We shall see. I've had a couple of nordy/audere equipped jazz basses and I was impressed. We shall see. Thanks

I had a JO5 with Nordies (split coils) and an Audere and while it sounded good it didn't wow me. If I pair an Audere with the stock MK1's, will that make a huge difference or do I need to change the pups too? The stock pre is horrible with way too much boost in all 3 frequencies!

| | Need more time.... Need more talent | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: San Antonio, TX | | I've heard on more than one occasion that the weak link is the preamp. You may want to try just upgrading the preamp first to see if it does the trick. If not, you could upgrade the pups later. I bought new sets of fat stacks and big singles about 1 1/2 years ago when Blueberry Hill Bass (I think) was blowing them out, been meaning to install'em ever since. Hope this helps. Love 5501's...

But different strokes for different folks, eh? |

I'll have one stock and one modded to A/B. If I like it I'll have the other modded too.

After A/B'ing them this one bass sounds really sweet with the stock electronics package and why mess with a good thing. I have a new respect for the stock package. I think it's more suited for rosewood boards, to my ears any.
I do like the Big Split Singles in the natural/maple board bass. Beware the big singles are hot pups but allow you dial up a bunch of usable settings.

Output is massive!
