Dual Humbuckers? UpDate

Les Paul Bass.



This thread could go twenty pages before anyone genuinely recommended an LPB. I wonder why.

My Fender Blacktop Jazz is dual Humbucker.

Dead quiet compared to some single coils

G&L L2000 (or L2500) gets my vote as well!
Stock they're great, but there are also a ton of relatively easy and completely un-invasive tone customization mods that can be done. My favorite configuration was passive Vol - Blend - Tone, with a series/parallel switch, and two individual coil tap switches.

I'm trying to decide on a bass of some sort that has dual humbuckers...leaning
toward the 2018 Musicman Stingray Special......any other suggestions? Let the beatings begin!!!

Many.
The Ibanez SRs have dual humbuckers, often Nordstrand.
I would never play one, but the Gibson T-Bird, and its numerous copies, are pretty popular.
I like my Spector Euro 5LX. I also have an LTD TA-600 with dual humbuckers, but that is a pretty pointy bass that isn't for everyone.

This Beauty would make a good one. Best dual MM pickups I've played. View attachment 3239360

Wow that bass is sooo pretty! Are they Nordstrand Dual Blades?

Has anyone told you what the 5 pickup selection are on the Stingray HH? All of the selections of the coils are in parallel.

Actually, the USA Sterling HH selections are better since they are in series. Stronger and better sounds.

That is the Nordstrand Big Blademan pickups and the new Nordstrand (wal design) preamp. There is coil taps for each pickup which really gives a lot of options and diversity.

Three pages, and no one’s mentioned the Peavey T-40?!?!

They must sound huge! I've got some Zen Blades on the way. I just can't believe how good Nordstrands sound drool

Wow that bass is a pick players dream - so many sounds!

The Fender Dimension Basses, a lot of places are all but giving them away (they are not being produced any longer), really good American made basses. The necks tend to have a Pbass neck profile. The pickups are passive, but they have a nice 3 band active EQ.

I know I'm biased but I have to say the word, Wal!

OK, even though I want the Fernandez BXB55 Explorer I posted on Page 1, if we're posting our dual humbucker pr0n, here is my 1995 G&L ASAT.......One owner: Me...love this bass and will never part with it

I had one of those early 90's dark cherry ones. It sounded and recorded great, but was awkward to play. I find the Thunderbird to be more ergonomic. The newer LP basses appear to have larger bodies.

( i actually want one of these )

Everyone should have that in their arsenal.

Here is the exact pickup and preamp combo I have and had this bass installed with. This electronics was designed for Chancelor and to cop the Wal tone.

Any chance that's a Warwick Katana? Looks an awful lot like my 5er! Great dual humbucker!
