    best all around p-bass pups on a budget?

    could it be as simple as Fender? There's a set of MiA Fender P-pups on EBay right now that looks to be gettable for a decent price. I'd like to keep it in the $50-60 price range if possible. I'm dropping them into a Samick P-Bass that I'll pretty much only use for recording, as I'm not a...

    The Samick Club

    i have a short scale samick that looks just like that abilene. the electronics are all screwed up in it and i figured they weren't worth trying to fix, but maybe they are. it might need a new jack, maybe new pots - i don't know how to tell.

    Anyone tell me about Samick?

    i have a short scale p bass by them but the electronics are all shorted out and make horrible noise. i was planning on throwing it out thinking it definitely wasn't worth trying to work on - i wonder if it is.

    What Happened to all the SX Love?

    i'm a guitarist who gigs pretty heavily and does a bit of recording. I was thinking of getting one of these basses for recording and an occasional gig. if i need to replace the pups, it wouldn't be a big deal. i don't care about the headstock, but do care about the possibility of getting a lemon...
