Im going to change Dimarzio pickups in my 72 Fender Pbass with rosewood fingerborad to Bartolini model 8SU and preamp HR 2.2AP, Treble/bass control. Any feedback or suggestions in this configuration. I'm looking for different tone in my Pbass without buying a new bass. I'm trying to get like or close the sound of a bass with two pickup configuration. Thanks for your inputs!! DV
Unless youre NEVER gonna sell it, or it is a PERFECT drop in, I wouldnt do it. Even breaking the solder joints on "vintage" basses make the value drop. Just take that into consideration.
If I understand you correctly, it already has a set of aftermarket pups in it. Changing to Barts would be no big deal if that is the sound you are looking for. I personally would go for the SD vintage models that sound like the sweet old pups that came with it. jmo
