Replace Passive Bass Pickups?
Howdy howdy,
I have a lower end jazz bass, and I really do like it but lately I've been thinking about replacing its passive pickups with...well, different ones. Same type; single coil passive jazz bass pickups, just not the (as far as I can tell) cheap, mass produced stock ones that are already in it. I'm not sure exactly which ones yet, but I have a few options. And so I've been wondering: can I expect a decent improvement in sound from new pups? And heck, while I'm here, any suggestions of good pickup companies?
Aslong as everything else about the instrument is of at least okay standard, better pickups will make a huge difference to your sound. While you're at it though, you might aswell get new wires, pots and jack input. I spent £15 on a whole wiring kit for a P Bass and got some really good quality components and insulated wire. Soldering also makes a difference so if you are not completely confident with your soldering, get someone who is. I was a bit out of practice when I was working on my P Bass so I practiced on the old pickups, which turned out to be a cracking idea since I melted through the back of the pickups and had to work with the thinnest, almost invisible copper wire for a good 10 minutes to get it fixed. There aren't many options for bass pickups, whatever budget you are working with there will be just a handful of options, you've probablly read reviews on the decent ones, just look for popular/praised ones.
