Whatever he normally puts in them, hard to get anyone to make a custom spaced 7 string set.... now that I have the pickup covers though that are custom made, If i don't like them hopefully i can get someone else to make me some custom ones.... who knows, i tend to be able to find lots of sounds out of whatever i pickup... so it should be good. i mainly gig with my Brubaker 5 string jazz, then i play a 4 string fender jazz and p bass for studio, and this thing is gonna be for making a bunch of crazy music.

Hey dear Swan Bass lovers!
I have a question regarding the Lake Pickups as I can't seem to find a demo of their PJ pickup configuration...
Do these PJs have more of a modern EMG-ish sound or are they more traditional?
I'm looking for a bright sounding (Fodera-esque) sound, is that what I'd get if I ordered my bass with PJs or would I need another configuration?
Thank you in advance!

 

[Pablo Primo]

They have more a Fodera sound, very clear and ariticulate!! I never tried PJ configuration

 

[Zelnitschek]

Thank you! So do you think a Swan Bass with PJ pickups would get me the sound I am looking for?

 

[Pablo Primo]

I dont know man, i dont know the sound you are looking for. I love them regardless. Check out Jorge Soberani on instagram and he has a Swan PJ

I am intrigued by the short-scale the Bass Whisperer covered at NAMM.

Do they have a functioning website?

They don't. They only have a Facebook and an Instagram page as far as I'm aware. You can contact the owner, Christian, on Instagram. He's very responsive and helpful.

Which bass did Ed cover?

I sent my Swan for a setup this week at a co-op where there are about a dozen luthiers. The guys there were blown away—said they'd never seen such a well-built short-scale bass. They spent some time analyzing it, trying to figure out how Christian and his team pulled it off.
