Help me pimp my bass?

[Anonymoose]

Hey guys, I've been playing a Schecter for a while, and I gotta say I miss my Squier. Problem is, it sounds terrible.
My question to you, what kind of pickups should I put on my Fender Squier P-bass?

whew - tough to answer w/o more info as to what you're looking for sonically. I did just put some bartolinis in a squier p-bass special (p/j combo) and I'm totally happy with them. Also don't forget to replace the pots and capacitor - heres a link where I bought my pots/wiring kit

I'm just looking for... more balls... y'know? I am eternally grateful, but i think you forgot the link..

oops sorry - Link Removed

the barts definitely made my nuts bigger

"more balls" is still pretty vague, do you have a specific tone or style you're looking for?

Call Lindy Fralin and get a 10% overwind, to get more low mids/upper bass without losing a significant amount of highs or starting to sound "hard." Pair it with real CTS full 250Kohm pots (they have as much as a 20% tolerance, so make sure they are right on the money) and a .047 tone cap. Use a real switchcraft jack and cord plugs into a good cable.
Make sure the bridge is secure and intonated properly.

Dimarzio model P would be my fave along with EMG. For that kinda tone, heavier etc rthen the stock pups.

I am doing a rebuild on a '09 MiM J. I am doing a complete electrical swap. What do you mean by the 250k pots being "on the money"?
