Hi
I have a quite cheap bass which isn't anything great but does what i want it to do which is just recording. The playability is ok for me but the sound could be a bit better. As i don't want to spend much money (buying a new and better bass) i thought about a pickup change. Now with guitars it's known that emg pickups don't depend as strong on the wood as other pickups. So now i am thinking if that's also true for bass.
So it would be cool if you guys can name some good pickups which will make sense putting into a cheap bass. Emg or other brand, doesn't matter. Of course no expensive pickups as i don't want to spend too much money and i think putting $250 pickups into a bass i bought for $30 from a friend doesn't make much sense.
I try to buy them used so i guess it will take some time to get them on ebay but some names as for what i should look out would help me very much.
Also any recommendations about electronics ? I figure i will change the complete electronics out of the bass as they are a very cheap passive system.
Obviously i don't know anything about bass guitars and bass pickups that's why i am asking you guys [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks in advance.
