Ok here is the problem. My first bass was an Epi Les Paul Bass, and at the time that I got it I played the crap out of it. Since then I have moved on to better sounding & playing basses. I still have it because I new that I could never sell it for anything like what was given for it & I like to look at it. I still take it out look at it (It is for all of its other failings a very pretty bass) & play it, but it just doesn't sound good to me anymore. The factory pups & electronics are crap. Something that I find is common for guitars& basses from the Far East. I would like to replace the pups, but the bass is routed just like a Les Paul guitar. That is, it is routed for & came with standard size humbuckers. The only company that I can find that makes a standard size replacement humbucker is EMG, & I just never liked the way EMG bass pups sounded. I bought a cheep Peavey pup from my guitar player not too long ago when the wax holding my bridge pup in that bass melted & the pup fell out of the bass. I was thinking about building a mount / ring & putting in a mini humbucker in the bridge, and leaving the cheep peavey guitar pup in the neck. If there are no other options I would like to have some custom shop pups made, but I don’t know how much that would cost or how to go about that. I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions at all on this.
