    JP4 pickups

    The answer to my question will determine the bass I get. I’m looking at a tune bass with “JP4” soap bar pickups. Just wondering if they sound like single coils? I hear that soap bar pickups are just shells and not an actual representation of the coils in the pickups. I also hear that...

    Hofner tone from soapbar?

    Here's an unusual question: which emg35 sized soapbar pickups would provide the closest tone to a Hofner "Beatle bass"? They would be going in an Ibanez Artcore bass.

    Ultimate Pickup Placement Comparison

    Finger ramp question

    For you ramp players, is there any difference in feel between playing with a ramp between P and J pups versus between two soapbar pups?
