Which pick up for modulus flea?

[Jim R]

I have a modulus flea that I just purchased from ebay. It came with a Seymour Duncan pick up that sounds very weak and clanky when slapping. I decided to try a Bartolini since I was happy with a modulus I had in the past with this pickup. However there are 5 different Bartolini MM pickups to choose from. I got this bass because I was looking for the really strong slap tone my previous bass had. If anyone has input on which pick up to choose from please let me know. BTW I tried the Legacy (Lane Poor remakes) site and struck out big time with them. Emailed 5 times with no reply and read some horror stories from others that tried also. It's a really comfortable bass to play and I got it for a good price so I'm willing to sink some more $ into it if there are any other opinions out there on different pick ups all together. Thanks

I would contact the guys at BestBassGear.com. They knows basses and know their gear, so they should have some suggestions.

My 98' flea 5 came with a Lane Poor pickup and its amazing... you probably wont be able to find this pickup but I heard someone opened up shop and is building these pickups again under legacy LP or something....Im sure someone will know more about this ???

Um.... I think the OP knew more about this... in the part where he said that he emailed them 5 times... Just saying.

Changing the Seymour Duncan pick up to a Bartolini (MMX by the way) was the best thing I did. Just made it sound exactly how I wanted. There is a guy at Modulus that I have contacted a couple of times that helped me out with which Bartolini to get. Thanks for the help again.

Email David, he can build you exactly what you need, and they cost less than the 'lesser' pickups you mentioned.
