I will probably have a luthier build me a new bass. It's Saki Stevenson at http://www.stevensonguitars.com (The bass link is not working). I really love the sound of my 4 string Pbass and I would like to have a very similar sound in a 5 string. Since I would like something that sound as close as my Pbass as possible i was thinking: Maple neck Ebony fingerboard alder body passive electronic P/J pickup configuration So, i was wondering what kind of pickup would give me a good P bass sound in a five string? Bart soapbar? Bart P model? Some other king of P pickup I don't know about? Also I was wondering if I should get active electronic and a passive tone control? All input are welcome!!
If you ask a mod to move this to the Pickup forum, you'll have a beeter chance of getting some answers! There are many companies that make 5 string P pickups. Go to the pickup forum and do some reasearch! Treena
