i'm desiging a bass (5 string), and i wanted to experiment with pick-ups.
my idea is (from neck to bridge) humbucker, jazz, precision, jazz, soapbar (narrow).
the question is, where can i find those pick-ups for a 5 string with NO batteries, all at the same site? (not the cheap pick-ups) |

Humbucker - 72M55C / XXM55C
Jazz - 57CBJD
Precision - 58CBP
Soap Bar - X55CBJD

You'd probably be best off sticking to two pickups. If you do want to be experimental about it try something like using a jazz and a musicman style, or pickups that can be used as humbuckers and single coils with the flip of a switch (do a search on coil tapping). |

is the humbucker (XXM55C) passive?
i was actually thinking about putting each pick-up on a 5-way selector switch. (humbucker, jazz, precision, soapbar, all) i'll have the 5-way switch and a master tone and master volume.
