New PU's for Status/TE T-Bass

[Forst]

hi.
i have a mid 90's t-bass 5 string. it sounds awesome, but two things bugs me:

1.the volume difference between both pu's on and only one pu (bridge or neck, whatever) on.

2. this thing with the dummy-coil is not 100% hum free.

now, i want new pu's (humbucker in j-form) and maybe a new preamp. sound like the original "hyperactive" pu's would be great.

any suggestions for pu's?

thanks
sven

Status obviously. I'd send an email to Rob Green and see what he has for you.
Installing humbucking Js will solve both your issues so it's likely the way to go.
If you don't want to use Status, Q-Tuners would fit well on such an instrument.

hi jazz ad, thank you for your answer.
the status 5 string j-pu's (that type with ears) are only as single coils available.
the q-tuners haven't the right size...
today i tested some old bartolinis...nice, but the status pu's are stronger and more clear.
tomorrow i will test an old emg j-set...

Oh, my bad, didn't notice it was a 5.
Villex could be your answer. Similar tone and they build custom sizes.

puuu...the price...and oversea.

i tested the emg j-set...i like them in my diy fretless, but in the t-bass they sucked:
treble is good, mid and bass a little bit wimpy, artificial. they sounds compressed.
and, my stringspace is to big for them.

did somebody know the sound of seymour duncan's ajb in comparison to the emg j-set?

If you want to go local, try Delano.

delano!........i don't see the forest, because, there are too much trees. thanks!
i think they are very clear, but, how are the high mids - i don't want them harsh...
do you know, how they sounds in comparison to the sd ajb?
