bleah just about anything else would be an improvement.

The first thing that comes to mind are stacked pickups. The idea was to build a traditional humbucker, but lay them vertically instead of horizontally. No comments on their tonality, though, as I've never knowingly dealt with one.

Never mind. This bass is now for sale. I am hooked on Sadowsky. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=608204

There's a slight high pitch buzz in series mode too. Otherwise, single mode is pretty much useless since it's about half the volume. I like the ability to choose series or parallel though! Yes, Series is the loudest. I find that parallel is about the same...

One would think that the Yamaha would take either those or the NJ5S, which is the same PU but the frame and cases are a bit different in size. Either way, you should be able to get something that works. As I understand it, the NJ5FS and the...

i used seymour duncan quarter pound pickups and i couldnt be happier. there a little hotter then normal for a passive pickup but there really grunt and in your face with bass midrange and treble. all i can say is punch punch punch. these are the pickups i would choose for the music your playing. if you listen to alien ant far, rise against, thursday or unwritten law then youll hear those pickups. there awesome for rock. the model number for...

I actually began the pickguard process last night, however I plan to redo it anyway, with nicer wood and finer sandpaper. I'd like...

IIRC some Sadowsky pickups are made by DiMarzio. Both of their J models are well-liked. My only experience is with the "Ultra-Jazz" model, which IME gives a very delicious, "scooped" modern tone. I've paired those with an Aguilar OBP-1 which IIRC is designed by the same crew that did the Sadowsky pre. Similar concept, too - 2-band, boost only. That combination can be pretty killer (especially run 18V)...
