This thread makes me realize that we don't talk about bass pickups a whole lot around here. Are bassists just more satisfied with their instruments than guitarists?

Re: Hot Stack for Jazz bass: Duncan's most metal pickup ever.
I think bassists tend to hang out at TGP more. And the bass section there seems a bit less insane than some of the other areas...
There's a lot more different bass tones than most people seem to be aware of. Most of them are associated with particular instruments, and I think bassists just buy the closest to their favorite and stick with it.
A lot of that is because active electronics for bass can be stupidly expensive. Want to change out the preamp? $150-300 depending on the model, and that's just the decent range, not boutique for the most part!
Quickly gets cheaper to buy a new bass than tinker with it, which is a shame. If Seymour Duncan did something like the Blackout Modular Preamp for bass, and as affordable, I suspect tinkering would get a lot more popular. A bass with problem electronics would be a lot less frustrating if it didn't cost so absurdly much to change them.

Haha.. exactly.. I have an Ibanez Bass with screwed up electronics, and a broken pickup cover.. do I wanna spend money to fix it? Nah.. I priced the replacement parts.. it's insane.. I guess I could try to find some cheaper passive electronics for it, but it's an odd shaped pickup..

Re: Hot Stack for Jazz bass: Duncan's most metal pickup ever.
I wish bass pickups were more talked about on here. I'm trying to figure out which pickups to put in my 4 string sized 5 string pickup slots. I can either go EMG (2 short models), Duncan Pro-Actives (2 neck models), Duncan Active for 5 (2 neck models), or Duncan 5 Stack (2 neck models). Due to the odd size, thats all I can do. Pain in the ass.

Re: Hot Stack for Jazz bass: Duncan's most metal pickup ever.
Bill Lawrence's bass pickups might work for you as well. He does one with 9 polepieces that is supposed to work fine with either 4 or 5 strings. I wish he'd do a rail pickup for bass, though.
My bass's neck pickup has the same issue, it's the size of his neck pickup.

his lie awkwardly between my routing :laugh2: the wilde neck pickup is 1/10" shorter than mine (which is doable), and the bridge is 1/10" longer (which is not doable). I'll look into them for the neck size though
