thanks !

Hello, I recently found the original pickups for my '74 -'75 J bass , I'd like to reinstall them at some point. There's a set of old DiMarzio's in there now..at times i feel they are a little too "hot"....I'm not sure which original pickup is the neck and which is bridge ? what direction is...

Thanks, for getting back to me so soon! I appreciate it, I'm going to look at the WT550 tommorow , looks like this guy used it in a studio setting, not for gigs. i'll let you know how i made out. thanks again, dave

Bob, Could I use a 2007 Eden WT550 head with the 2 different cabs ? without any damage I think they can drive 2 ohms. Using the 2 1/4" amp outs.
