Hey guys,
Right, I'm looking to change out the pickups in my Tanglewood Overwater Classic J which has a P/J pickup configuration. The P sounds good, but the J pickup is a bit thin and lacking. I'm thinking of going for a P/J set from Invalid Link Removed He has two variations on the set, a regular P/J set consisting of a '64 Jazz Bass bridge pickup and a Trad P Bass. The other option is a P/J (Big) which are described as Fatter, Rounded more middy tone and they are just a tad more powerful.
Anyone got experience with either set, or had the rare chance to compare the two?
I play mostly finger style, prog rock / math rock type stuff with occasional forays in heavy riff type stuff. Examples of my playing with my band Mononoke can be found [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Any sage like advice welcome! I dig 70s style bass tones, bands like Free and early Yes, but that perhaps has more to with the amps they were using. I'm after a warm full tone that still cuts nicely.
My rig is a Mark Bass Little Mark III with a Mark Bass NY121 cab.
