I’m working on a precision bass project, and I decided to go with Antiquity II pups for a little more vintage sound.
The bass has a maple neck, and currently has an old set of Nickel EB slinkies.
Sounds good, but I’m hoping to get a little more “grit” with the tone control rolled off.
I stayed away from other pickups, such as quarter pounders and dimarzios ‘cause I didn’t want too much grit, but now I’d like to have a little more than what I have now with this setup (when will I ever be happy…

)
I suppose flats are out of the question, but what strings would you recommend to have a nice warm vintage sound with tone control turned, but some grit (not extreme) with tone rolled off?
Suggestions?
Thanks!
