Hey, First post. I'm building a new rig for a Pop/Rock project. Here's the rundown. Ampeg SVT2 Pro Ampeg 810E I just picked up a '78 Pbass, it's in good playable shape ( all original at present). I'm not concerned about resale, it'll be a players bass. I'm doing the setup at present ( badass II bridge replacement). the stock pickup isn't soundin very good, so I'm lookin at a replacement. I've read through all the archives on pbass replacement pickups, but it all comes down to opinions unless I mention what I'd like to hear. Here's a clip of a tune where the bass is in the direction I'd like the sound to go ( this was recorded with a '74 pbass) http://www.feefifofum.com/BassTone.mp3 So, it looks like my pickup options are: Fender '62 reissue Rio Grande Muy Grande Rio Grande Vintage P Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Any direction appreciated, otherwise, I'm just gonna have to start goin through them until I find "the one" =) Regards fum
Well, since a BadAss II is a bolt-on replacement, you should just hang onto the parts just in case you ever sell them. On the other hand, if you want to sell the old pickup, you've got a buyer
