    Thanks in advance for reading!
    Hey there everyone. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this wide variety or Bartolini Ernie Ball MM Replacement pups. There are so many different kinds and I'm trying to experiment too much with the budget.


    Here's as much background as I can give.
    The Bass:
    Alder/koa lt)
    Maple/Pau Ferro Neck

    MM/ J Config

    Main Rig:
    Ag500
    2 newly acquired GS210's

    I play r&b , neo-soul (who thought up that crappy genre name) funk, gospel, pop, jazz.


    I guess my question is just how accurate do you all think the description of these pickups are:
    Bartolini 72MV5C 72mm Ernie Ball Music Man-5 Bass Pickup

    Dual coil 5-string Music Man-5 (Ernie Ball) shape bass pickups.
    This pickup has deep bass tone.

    Bartolini 72MV5K 72mm Ernie Ball Music Man-5 Bass Pickup

    Dual coil 5-string Music Man-5 (Ernie Ball) shape bass pickups.
    This pickup has bright tone.

    Bartolini MV5CBC Music Man Sting Ray Bass Dual Coil Pickup
    Authorized Bartolini Dealer!
    Dual coil 5-string Ernie Ball - Music Man 5 Shape Bass pickup.
    This pickup has powerful lows and low mids with bright treble


    MV52CBJD(3) - Quad Coil, Classic Bass. Two CBJD (jazz pickups) in one shell. Allows for humcancelling split coil operation.

    "Classic Bass" CB series bass pickups feature an extended and more resonant frequency range. They have far more "air" and definition at the top without sacrificing lows and low mids. They are cast in epoxy to remove unwanted feedback and microphonics.


    I too want a growl...not so much the kind of snarl that's happening as we speak :) and I'm wondering which one of these pickups will help achieve.

    Thanks again in advance!
