After playing my Stu Hamm sig for a couple of weeks, I've been thinking about changing one of the pickups (either the
Js or the P pickup, I haven't decided). I like how the pickups sound, but the J and P pickups sound pretty similar to me, and I think if I change say the P pickup I could really expand the tonal horizons of this bass.
I'm looking for a really fat, wet, funk tone to contrast the smooth sound of the two
Js already on this bass. So far I'm looking at these two pickups
Delano PMVC 4 FE/M2 (
Delano Bass Pickups)
Basslines SPB-2 (
Basslines SPB-2 - Hot for P-Bass Pickups)
My other question is will most pickups work with my bass? The bass has a preamp on it, and both active and passive modes. I've seen pickups marketed as both active and passive. If I had to choose I primarily play active.
TLDR: want to replace a P pickup on a stu hamm, is it a good idea, anyone have experiance with these pickups, and will it work for both active and passive? Should I change
Js instead?
I got a p-46!
