Like the title say's im looking for a new pick up for my jack casady, people have raved about the sound from these basses. But i find mine really muddy with no ball's. Epiphone recon its output is 6K. Its a weird size humbucker measuring 80mm x 33mm, the only seymour pick up ive found that would fit would be either a single coil precision pick up (im guessing the 14.5K would be nice) or a rickenbacker replacement. Not sure how much difference it makes being a hollow body bass. Any suggestion's ?

Quick thought.
If that Epi bass has an active pickup and/or EQ, the problem could just be a that the 9v pile needs replacing.
EDIT: I just checked the Epi website product description. It says low impedance pickup. Look for a battery compartment on the rear of the instrument.

My LP Sig also has a switch that does that, but it's 3 way and labeled something like 500-250-50 or some such. I don't know what it does, but it starts thin and weak and gains output and girth when I change from one end to the other. I have no idea what it does or how it works. Maybe preset output drops? I haven't played it since November and don't have it out here at sea but I'll check it out once I get home next month.

Found this via the interewbs.
Not sure if it helps, but there's a transformer??
