I recently got a 2006 corvette standard fretless, thing is incredible. It has the standard mec passive pickups. I'm looking into to getting passive/active pickups with preamp. I've been looking around and emg and bartolini both advertise great expectations.lol.
The bass is definitely growly but I want more low and mid. I think just switching it to active will make it sound much better. Specifically I'm just wondering who has changed pickups on this specific bass. Ovangkol,bubinga,Wenge. Like I said it has that signature warwick growl but it's just kinda puny I guess. I have a maple neck corvette with actives that sounds great but not as growly. So i just want this bass to be growly and punchy. Thanks for your input.
