Dream Pickups

[Petary791]

So I got the Carvin catalog and I was thinking what I would want my next 4 stringer to be. I was thinking this.

2 MusicMan like humbuckers with coil taps for each so I could run them like regular humbuckers and single coils (like a Jazz Bass.) That is what coil taps are for right?

My dream pickups are clear, fat, punchy, focused, defined, transparent, and awesome. So, MM and P-bass is a good combo.

yes, coil taps are for the ability of wiring your humbuckers in parallel, series, or single coil (like a Jazz bass).

My dream pickup combination would be something similar but with soapbar humbuckers in the jazz positions...

a P/MM combination would also be a very tasty combination, IMO...

Yep, but it won't sound like a true jazz bass.

I think a regular JJ will work for me, or a JPJ even.

or a JPJ even.

Do I smell an Urge fan?

4 J pickups wired as humbuckers oughtta be pretty cool. Your coil tap just turns off one of the pickups in a pair...

Did you scope the DarkStar pickup ?linky
I've got one on order that will drop into a 57 RI P bass body with a 62 RI J neck when it get's here. BA II bridge will complete the ensemble. This is either going to be a complete waste of time or very cool...

Never played one. I love Jazzes and I love Precisions.
