They look nothing like that , pole pieces are way higher and they are not beveled like in that picture Altho the black casing and everything else is the same

Interesting, do you think that the guy who serviced my bass couldeve ignorantly pulled the pole pieces out? Im still fuzzy to if they are meant to be staggerd or if they come flat out of the box.

The main problem is that my strings are constanly hitting the poles because they are so high up, it makes a clicking noise when it collides making my sound so crappy when i play aggressivly.

Yes that is what i am talking about, the poles are raised under the d and a string.

I have done a bit more research and i found a K&K Bass Max pickup, this one is quite a bit cheaper than the Realist. Is it worth it to spend the extra 100$ on a Realist, or will i still get a good sound with the Bass Max?

Thanks for the input guys! On behalf of the amp question, im currently using a gk backline 115

I have been using a fishman pickup on an engelhardt swingmaster for awhile now. The sound im getting is so treblely and fingery that it doesant even sound like a bass. Ive done some research and have heard that the realist pickup would be a good choice, im looking for a more natural sounding...
