Okay I love this little bass the look and feel but it has no power whatsoever hahahah. I was thinking about maybe an EB0 pickup or a knockoff one. I dont have that much money to invest in it but it did only cost me 40 with the amp so I can spend a lil something to spruce it up

| | | | For that price, im not sure how much you want to spend on a pickup. Although you could try sticking a jazz pup in there. |

They even make some custom wood covered pickups.

An EB-0 type pickup might not be what you are looking for anyway.
