i have finally decided to build my own bass. i have already purchased the wood and hardware for the bass but my problem is that i cant decide what pickups i should use. I was originally going to do a pbass body design with jazz pickups and jazz pickguard but today i found a used seymour duncan MM replacement pickup for $29 so now im thinking of doing a stingray style bass.
so heres my question....
is it possible to use a MM pickup without a preamp so that it is just passive? i was hoping to just wire it up with just a volume and tone pot...
if this is possible how well will it sound? will it sound anything close to a stingray or will it just sound like poo?
any help will be much appreciated!!
thanks,
