1999 Warwick FNA new pickup??

[catsandstrats]

So I am aware that the pickup is a Seymour Duncan, but I am going to try the Seymour Duncan Basslines ceramic for stingray basses. Any opinions on what this may sound like. I want a bass that plays like a warwick, but sounds like a stingray...will this get anywhere close??

well the thing with warwicks is the wood. i believe your FNA has an ovankol neck with the wenge fingerboard. this particular neck/fingerboard combination is what gives the bass the "warwick sound" if you install the stingray pickup, it may be a little clearer but when you play the lower notes you will most likely still get the warwick sound. but thats just what I assume will happen. but try it anyway. because any sort of pickup upgrade usually always improves your tone as long as you use a better quality pickup like the one in the stingray. best of luck -cheers!
