    SOLD: Seymour Duncan Tele Neck Pickup APTR1

    SOLD:Seymour Duncan Neck Pikup Alnico 2 APTR1

    They say:
    Warm, moderate-output single-coil for Tele. Great for country, pop, jazz, blues and classic rock

    I say:
    Warm but clear and balances well with vintage style bridge pickups. Good condition and no issues. Boxed with everything that was originally included. Installed once on a guitar but plenty of wire left. A very slight mark at the centre of the chrome cover, hardly visible, but hence the low price.

    Add £5 for postage, or pickup from Worthing area.

    Thanks for your advice.
    I do tend to raise the Midget up - I will try it on the floor.
    Part of the problem is that I don't often get to play with this rig - in fact I don't get to play that much at all live. As most of what I hear is acoustic in the practice room I tend to have a preconceived notion of the sound I'm going to get out of the speaker which doesn't match the reality. I tried practicing with headphones last night and found that a very different experience to practicing acoustically. I tend to dig in hard acoustically and realized I should ease off when playing with the pickup. Also experimenting with the fdeck HPF frequency through headphones I found that I need to set it around 60Hz to get rid of the boom. Live I've tended to neglect the setup of this and that may have contributed to the flabby sound. It may also be that the Realist is not working so well with this bass so I could try a different style of pickup such at the J-Tone wing pickups which look good and cheap. Plus I could try different strings - I'm playing Spirocore Weich currently but although easy to play I do tend to dig in too much with them so maybe I should try Mediums.
    So lots to try which in order of cost will be:
    -Practice through headphones and dig in less
    -Different pickup
    -Different strings
    -Different speaker

    Hi all,
    Looking for some advice. I have a lively Italian bass with a Realist pickup going to an fDeck and then to a Markbass Little Mark iii with a Barefaced Midget T. I don't really like the sound of this setup - it seems to lack attack and sounds a bit "flabby". The mids need a bit of tweaking and others have commented that the Barefaced Midget has a bit of a mid range peak. I suspect that the Barefaced is the problem. I sometimes play through a very old GK MB150s and although I can't get much bottom end out of it the sound is a lot more responsive and focused. However I should say that the Markbass and Barefaced work very well with Electric Bass.
    I'm thinking I should try a smaller, tighter speaker - perhaps an EA Wizzy? However, I'm not sure how that would work with Electric Bass. I can't really justify 2 speakers at the moment.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
