If I didn't like to know things for myself and didn't want to experiment I wouldn't have them |

| | | I once heard a Wal with MECs... and dang if that bass didn't sound good. Suddenly the whole Wal thing made sense. |

I want to know if I put these in a jazz bass if it will sound similar to a warwick. I think that is actually the bulk of the warwick sound in those pickups...
edit:
Can you buy MEC pickups anywhere??? I've been looking around, and it doesn't look like you can get them unless you buy a Warwick...

I love the MECs, I had a 'Wick that someone had put EMGs in, and it ruined the bass for me. I restored it to MECs with the help of Bass Central, and Dana B Goods (awesome guys in both shops!). The bass is now back to its original glory, and I couldn't be happier with it.
I'd be interested to hear someone's experiences putting MECs in something other than a 'Wick.
