Exclamation PICKUPS YOU WOULD RECOMMEND FOR SLAPPING

Sign in to disble this ad
JUST A GENERAL QUESTION THAT I WAS WONDERING TO GET THE MOST SOUND OUT OF MY JACKSON CONCERT BASS,

I ADDED A BADASS ORIGINAL BRIDGE, GOT ONE BASS LINE JAZZ PICKUP AND PRECISION BASS PICKUP WITH LABELLA ROUNDWOUNDS STRINGS. BUT STILL LOOKS LIKE THERES SOMETHING MISSING IN THE SOUND IM LOOKING FOR, THIS IS MY FIRST BASS I GOT AND INSTEAD OF BUYING ANOTHER ONE AND PUT THIS ONE AWAY I WANTED TO UPGRADED IT.

I PLAY A MIM JAZZ BASS V , AND 1969 FRETLESS JAZZ BASS AND A EPIPHONE ELSGUNDO

God sorry for the caps by the way

I would say changing a set of strings first before any major upgrade.

I would recommend DR LoRider , Hi Beam or Marcus Sig Strings (Fat Beam)

Try changing out the strings first, then if you still want to switch pickups try out some of the active EMGs.
