Swapping EMG-P for SPB-1

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, just a quick question here. I'm thinking of switching from my EMG-P pups to the Seymour Duncan SPB-1 since I'm looking for a more warm a mellow bass sound. I'm wondering if the pickups come with tone and volume pots. If not, would it be possible just to use the pots that came with my EMG-P? Thanks much.

FWIW:

SD has diagrams you can check. To my knowledge they don't send pots with pups unless you buy a kit with a pre (like Steve Bailey Fretless). You could email them and verify.

Doubt you'd be able to use the EMG pots cause they're active pups use all 25K. Don't recall in SPB-1's are active or passive but they're probably passive and would likely use 250K pots. 25K pots will choke passive pups down to worthlessness.
