Sign in to disble this ad
have a mighty mite musicman style pickup in an active bass.
What would be a good replacement? I want it to have a brighter top and a bit fatter bottom, but it seems that is what most people want.

| | | | its not on a music man so even though they say mighty mite,
do cort actually use them? this is an area I know nothing about.
The tone is okay but lacks alot of bottom end. I like bottom end.
I have always have american standard p bass, and a deluxe jazz,
but the cort is a cheap light little toy. It is surprisingly become my favourite. I just want to see if i can improve the sound.
Already replaced the front jazz pup, sounds great. I just dont know where to go with the back one.

Do a search and find one that fits to your taste and wallet.
I choose Nordstrand.

I wired in a Tele style three way series/split/parallel switch for greater tonal variety.
