| I'm an Elite-5 owner, and after spending alot of money I shouldn't have, I would only recommend new tuners, and possibly a preamp. I went with the Glockenklang 3-band. I tried several pickups, and found myself back with the EMG's. They were not as balanced as some of the others, but they had the tone that appealed to me most. They are a bit bright which is what everyone complains about, but I'd rather roll off a bit of treble than trying to get clarity out of a pickup that doesn't have it. I found the Basslines to pretty much sound the same as EMG, but EMG's were balanced better. SGD's were balanced the best. The bartolini's lasted two hour in the bass.. |
