    From Bartolini to Aguilar

    I have bartolini NTBT in my bass, and It sounds FAT ! I think boost and cut add more versatility than just Boost only...but to say that Barts sound thin is just simply wrong.

    Cort Upgrades

    The only replacement pickup I can think of for MK1 is MK4CBC (4 strings) or MK5CBC... MK4CBC will be a drop in replacement, no routing necessary. As for the bridge...I'm not so sure, but they look pretty close to hipshot bridge...so measure and compare.

    Thanks a lot for the response...I really love Curbow...Yes, they sound Modern but, to me, they don't sound artificial....they just sound different (in a positive way). If I could describe the sound...right now with the stock pickup, my fretless sounds punchy and bright...the high end is a...
