Dugz Ink Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 (edited) This isn't just a poll... it's a survey to collect more information on pickup placement. Any information or experience that you can post here will be helpful to all of us. If I have left out something big, please excuse my ignorance.

bassman Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I prefer a very wide space between neck and bridge jazz pickups. This way you get a bit of extremes from each pickup. However for slappers a pickup at the 30th or so "fret position" on a 24 fretter can be in the way, but I have slapping well enough alone for many years. Currently I am "prototyping" a bass with only an undersaddle transducer, fretless of course. Peace Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Seems that whenever I play a bass that even has a pickup near the neck, I tend to favor that pickup. My own bass has a split p-bass pick-up half way between. Your typical P-bass sound which I never found very impressive. I'm thinking single coil near the neck, if I get to build a frankenpartsbass one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratDudeDan Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) that one... i use both pups at all times, plus a volume pedal and the on-board EQ if something doesn't sound right. low for smoothness, mid for growl, high for punch and what i refer to as "ting" if that makes sense to anyone else.
