    Neck or Bridge Pickup for a Curbow 5

    The Bartolini M4, the dual coil. I want something with some more bite than the stock. I know Bartolini is usually the answer but I wanted to see what ya'll have done.

    nice buy! I've had mine since they came out (98 or so?) And man, have I put some miles on it. I love it to death. I have a "burled wallnut" finish 5 string.
