ok so im gettin a rondo P-bass sometime soon, and i figure a new pickup cant hurt. so what do you guys reccomend for metal? i play mostly Metallica, maiden, sabbath, and CoC. the tonewizard said quarter pounder or hot, but i dont have any experience with either one

Re: P-bass pickup for metal

my bass player just built a bass off of warmoth, and he is a crazy metal bass player. he ended up putting the EMG active PJ bass set into his, so he can set the EQ any way he wants.... including some insane metal. He can pull of some of those crazy Manowar bass solos with those pickups, and do a lot of 'tallica and maiden stuff. anyways, u should at least check out the EMG active P-bass pickups. hope this helps.

Re: P-bass pickup for metal

i got the EMG actives in a 5 string... great pickups, but if you play into anything other than a bass amp they sound a bit sterile

(but what did you expect )
