Now that Ed's had his fun -- thanks for the chuckle at work Ed -- hey Chubby, try posting on the Electric bass side. I'm sure every electric player will recommend what they use.

The most popular pickups today are the Realistic an the Full Circle, I think the FC has more clarity and growl, while Realistic sounds more Microphone like. I prefer the FC.
