pickup

I'm having a problem with the output of the p-pickup on my new dirty blonde 5 string. When full pan to neck pickup the output is great on all strings except the B string. Here is the wierd part, it's not a height issue. It's only when playing upstrokes on the B string it is very compressed and...

Can anyone tell me the differences in sound between the different pickup configurations? And which one do you like most? why is the bridge pickup on a thumb is tilted? sorry for my english

I'm interested in having a 5 string Thumb BO built, but I'm not digging the sound of the MEC electronics. The Barts are a bit too polite for my tastes. Would the custom shop install Delano pickups and their SONAR preamp in a custom bass?

I have an 05 RB streamer that I throughly enjoy. The bridge Pickup is intermittent, move the wire and it goes dead. It neds to be replaced. My question is, has anybody replaced either pickup with a Bartolini W4CBC? If I use the Bart I will probably have to replace the Volume Pot also...

Hiya, im currecntly ordering new black hardware to replace my chrome hardware. Im looking for black pick-up selector in the shop but cant find it, how do i go about ordering one?

Does anyone know if you can get (Ovangkol or bubinga) pickup covers for the Thumb 5 BO? Does anyone have any or any pics with them installed? Pro's or con's? Just curious to see what it would look like. Thanks, Tim

I recently picked up a black gloss fortress one passive, I believe it is a 93, that I love. A couple of the pickup screws are a touch rusty-even a little stripped- and I'd like to replace them - maybe all of them. Here's the question - are the 30mm pickup screws correct for this bass? My...

Is it possible (or affordable) to have the same pickup positioning on a NT5 as on a NT4? I did a search but got 833 results, so I didn't exactly shift through them all. Anyone know the rough upcharge?

How would that sound? Let's take a thumb BO: the growly tone, the midrangy cut-through-the-mix-like-a-hot-knife-through-butter character comes from the Bridge Js, among other things... What would happen to that character is instead of Bridge Js, the Thumb BO was equipped with Mirrored Ps...

My first Warwick is Thumb Bass NT 5 with Bartolini, it sounds so focus, but small output and bad slapping, I can't not believe that Thumb bass is not a funky bass so I start to change the pickups.... Now I still looking for the best setup for my Thumb NT 5, the reason I post this is because...

Hi. This is my first post here at this great site. I just recently bought a 93 Fortress One and I love it. However, the j bridge pickup is extremely noisy. It is the passive MEC Dynamic Correction type. The bass has an active preamp. When I bypass the preamp it is still noisy. It is also noisy...

I have a question fro Gregory: Let's see, hypothetically, if I wanted something like: A 6-string corvette, ash-bodied, passive electronics, a single MM pickup (like a FNA) Would it cost a full set of pickups or would it be less expensive?

I have a one pickup 4 string streamer STD and would like it to be active. What would you recommend? EMG?

Hi, Is there any one here own a Thumb 6 bolt on had PU or preamp replacement?? My Thumb 6 sounds much small than my other Warwicks, it is SD PU w/ MEC 2 band EQ(factory setup), I can't find the PU for my Thumb 6, the size just doesn't match, so I will go change the circuit to Bassline EQ...

I'm just wondering when the Passive MEC CRB Single Coil pickups that are on the star basses will be available in the CS? Not that I can afford another cs warwick for a while, but i can always dream..

Hi everyone, thanks for helping me with my doubt a few days ago about my Streamer STD Serial. Well, i''ve another question. My bass, as you know, has only one pickup on it, a original MEC wich has a solid, round sound... I mostly like a brighter sound like a musicman or something like that...

What is the standard pickup height settings for a thumb bolt on w/active/passive preamp? Is there a certain procedure outlining the pickup settings?

According to the information from Dominant - -------------------- : 5) 3 Way Coil switch for Bridge pickup, when switched: • Up - Pickup is in parrallel Humbucker mode which provides the classic tone of a single coil jazz pickup with a rounder fatter tone and no hum • Middle - Pickup is...

Hello, I know this is going to be a long read but if anybody could stick it out and make me some recommendations, I would be extremely grateful. I've owned my Corvette FNA Jazzman 4 string for about six or seven years now so I have one of the older ones with the Seymour Duncan pre-amp in...
