pickups

Can anyone tell me what the size is for the soapbar MEC pickups in a Streamer LX 6 wideneck bass? Are they larger than average size due to the wider string spacing or will most 6 string soapbar style pickups work? I am toying with the idea of swapping the pickups out in my 'wick for a third...

what a genius Idea [/list]

Does anyone know where they are manufactured?

I wanted to have noise-free passive pickups and a true Active/Passive mode, so I upgraded to a set of Bartolini 9CBJD3 Pickups and a Bartolini 3.4 preamp, running at 18V. To maintain the Warwick knobs and have a Blend control with the Volume (instead of one Volume for each pickup), I replaced...

I own 2 passive corvette, one bubinga and one ash. I´m happy with the sounds but always looking for more! Can anybody explain what would be the difference if I would have active electronics with passive pickups vs. active el. with active pu´s? I think I understand act. el., a preamp in the...

I put in a new preamp and pickups in my Warwick. Although the low strings sound amazing, the G and to a lesser degree the D strings sound really weak in output. I raised the pickups up a lot, but they are still weak. The funny part is the old MEC stuff was balanced all around in output...

Hi guys, maybe you can help me, my thumb seems to distort when I play hard on the strings... now I know this can usually be fixed by adjusting the pickup hight or using the little adjustment on the preamp, but I have done both of those already, and yes, it fixed the problem, but I had to turn...

I have a 1994 Fortress 1 active 5 string I've owned from new. (J/J pickup config). This has always had a relatively low output volume compared to other makes but I just assumed this to be normal for that bass. Sound engineers always love the tone but complain it's weak volume wise. I've just...

does anyone here know anything about dimarzio bass pickups? are they any good and what would they sound like? p.s. which magnet is stronger, alnico or ceramic?

I was thinking about changing those stock mec passive soupbar pickup to a Bassline MM style of pickups. Do you guys think those Duncans will give more power and growl on the RB?

I tried a Corvette 5 string with active electronics and bubinga body today and I must say, it really give my thumb a run for the money. I really wish I hadnt touched it because now Im jonesin to pick it up, and if I do so, I will be cutting into my CS savings fund. danr you Warwick for...

Hey, does anyone know anything of a limited anniversary Streamer with 2 EMG p pickups on it. Owner says it's numbered 10 out of 87 made. It's a 4 stringer with gold hardware and ornamented dot inlays.

Ok, so far we have: -Thumb NT5 -Ash body -Wenge Neck So we have the general tone down: dark and bottomy! What pickups should we put on it to make it growl, howl, scream, purr or simply thump? Three days for this one!

Anyone tried the Häussel Pickups?

Any idea about pickups for Rockbass Corvette?

is there a "push-pull" knob or something that would allow you to coil-tap a twin J pickup? would a twin J that is being coil-tapped (i think that means made to sound like a single coil J - that's what i want it to mean :) ) sound inferior to a regular single coil J pickup? thanx for the help!

if a pickup is ordered as being "shipped with a gold cover" does that mean that there is a black cover with an extra gold one shipped with it in case someone wanted to change the color? if not, can this be done? does ordering a pickup with a colored cover change the overall price-tag? (or is it...
