Alonfire Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I got a pair of these from ebay recently but have only the pickups. Do i need the equalizer etc to wire these or could I wire these with just a vol and tone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm not sure about the pickups specifically. I imagine that you could run them in a normal passive circuit quite happily unless they were specifically designed to work with a pre-amp. One of the basses I have has pickups which look normal but have a super low hifi output which the pre-amp was designed to bring up to normal levels. I can't see this being the case though. Measure the DCR of the pickups and if they seem more or less normal you should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
