Who makes MM-J sets that drop into a 55-94? I've got Barts now, and I'm assuming EMG makes 'em, but how about somebody like Nordstrand or Fralin?

i would bet that just about any custom pickup company liek nordstrand, lindy fralin, aero, etc...would make a replacement set for you though. good luck though! sound clip comparisons when it goes down? pretty please...

Before you mod the bass though, how are the Barts? I think they are pretty cool stock. Is there something in particular in your sound that you are interested in changing?
Also, there is a wide range of seymour duncan mm's to consider.

| | | | Just put a set of Delanos in my 55-94. It's an old bass so the PUs are 4 string size. Delano makes a set to fit. Also changes to a Glockenklang 3 band pre. I've played this out a few times now and it is the cleanest sound I ever had. I switched it to 18v to get some more push out of it. Net, Delanos claims in their website are no BS. Kinda wish I had tried the Delanos with the Bart pre before I switched but oh well.
