pickup

Hello. I am seriously thinking about purchasing a Warwick Streamer, stage 2 bass guitar. The only criticism I have seen on the Streamer, Stage 2 is something called pick-up hiss, I think. I cannot help but wonder about this. Is it only at extreme volume? What does the Warwick company...

Hello everyone! My first Warwick is a Corvette $$ and I'm in love with it, even though it took a while to get used to it, especially tonewise. The sound is great, both growls and the lows are there, the highs ring the way I love them to ring but the overall sound seemed to have some dry feel...

Is it all possible to swap the Twin Jazz pickup in the Dolphin for a Musicman humbucker? Or even just have the MM on it's own without the other Jazz pickup?

I'm thinking of replacing the pickups in my Washburn.. does anyone have experience with both of these pickup brands? I kind of need an A/B comparision.. thank you in advance :) btw, 2 J pickups for a 5 string

The intro story: I'm thinking of buying a Corvette Bubinga as a backup for my Thumb BO. As far as I can see from specs, they're close up to a point (same neck wood, pickups, body wood of the same family, both BOs); however, I know they don't sound alike...thus, the question: how about a 'Vette...

I just got a Corvette 5 $$ from the factory today and noticed that the pole pieces are a little off on the pickups. Is this normal for Warwicks? I know they should be aligned. does anybody else have the same problem?

I'm ripping out the stock MEC and i'm going to drop in one of the bartolini replacements. My streamer is the singe pickup model, so what would suit best, a neck or bridge pickup? If its any help i was using this bass before with the volume nob pulled up (is that series or parallel?) mostly...

Hey guys, If someone can find this out for me it would be a big help! 07 Thumb Bass NT5 - are the pickup screws 30mm or 35mm? Finding out without having to go home and grab one outta the bass will save me some time this arvo :) Lazy bugger, yup!! Cheers, Jono

Hello folks. I got a wonderful 6 string fretless Thumb from 1996. Instead of the MEC pickups I found the Bartolini soapbars on this bass, and I think they're perfect for fretless (I got another 4 string fretless Thumb from 1990 with MEC pick ups and it sounds pretty different). I was just...

I have a Corvette $$ that is missing two pickup screws and im having a really hard time finding replacements. I live in Balitimore, MD and have tried every local music store and hardware store that i can think of. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, (Greg from france) I own a 1992 streamer stage I 5s and I'm about to change electronic and maybe pickups (2 Bartolini soapbar on my bass), but I cannot choose between several brands. I play all kind of music in different bands : rock, funk, hip hop, soul..... Electronic: - Aguilar...

I was about to order a 2009 one-pickup Streamer Std. fretless but my local distributor told me that there won't be such 2009 model. Is that true?

looking for Mec 3 band EQ preamp and pickup I want to replace the old electronics from my bass and get an updated Mec 3 Band EQ with 4 knobs and 2 soap bars pickups for a 5 string bass. Does anyone can tell me where can I get this stuff at?

Not finished yet, but absolutely playable. Significantly brighter and smoother than the original MEC vintage humbucker. Wired in parallel.

What measurements are standard (factory) for a Corvette Standard 5 with standard J? 2.5mm in both neck and bridge position?? Is this with a note fretted at 24th fret, or simply the gap between top of pickup and string normally? What measurements have people used to give good even response...

I know this subject has been covered before, but I can't seem to find the thread. What's the recommended clearance between the strings and the pickups for the $$? I tune down to D, G, C, F....should I take that into consideration (extra floppiness).

Mmm, I just got my Corvette standard 5-string in Bubinga wood with active electronics but with standard passive pickups after waiting 6-7 weeks. I'm really annoyed (and depressed!) as when I ordered the active electronic option I thought the bass was then fully active and that the active JJ's...

Well my SSI has had a few issues with the neck, and maybe broken truss. Spoken to hans peter whos said warwick will fix it so i'll be doing that as and when i get the finds. As this is a big job, i thought why not go nuts and just pimp the bass out. I was thinking: - All new hardware -...
