Interesting. Do you know if these have a "wide" or "narrow" aperture?

Oh man! That's a heck of a deal. If I weren't getting rid of the bass these would fit in, I'd be on them. Always wanted to try the SGDs.

will these work with a 18 volt preamp???? or are they only for a passive pre not active thanks Bobby

diechris · #12 02-03-2011, 11:14 AM

The pick ups are passive. Theyll work with any active pre.

Thanks would you say they are aggresive sounding??? thinking about putting them in my epiphone thunderbird pro 5

diechris · #14 02-03-2011, 12:40 PM

I think they are in my bass. Which is a Rex5. However I think the wood has a Loy to do with that... Mines has maple wings

metalbob · #15 02-03-2011, 12:56 PM

hmm tbird is Body Wings: Mahogany
Neck: 7-piece (Alternating Walnut/Maple)

If these SGD Neo pickups are the same as the ones I have, they won't be the most aggressive sounding that I've ever tried, but they will be very responsive to different playing techniques. If you play hard, you'll get all kinds of nice detail and usable midrange.

What impresses me most about these pickups is the balanced, natural tone that they bring out. They really find a nice happy medium between strings, frets and wood. The neck pickup especially sounds great, and has a nice warm P-bass type of vibe to it, but with more fullness and refined treble.

would this work with a bartolini 4.6a/p preamp?????

diechris · #18 02-03-2011, 06:00 PM

I don't see why it wouldn't work with ANY preamp

Can you tell me the size of these please?
Do you know a link with specs? I've never heard of this brand.
Thanks
