Hey everyone! im looking for some advice! im going to be buying a 5 string squier j bass off a friend and i want to customise it,, make it sound realy nice.
now iv never dabbled with electronics in a bass. i dont have a clue how it all works. i no very ameture stuff about the insides of a bass, but im the sort that plugs in and plays! so being a squire im not expecting it to sound as nice as my spector of fender j bass...
i want to put new pickups in it and maybe buy a fender maple neck from somewhere. eventually add a badass to it. some new knobs and machine heads etc . but i just dont know where to start with pickups. wat do diferent pickups sound like how the heck to install them. (i may buy them then get my local shop to install them!.)
i play rock, and i like the grity dirty sound i get from my mexican jazz but i also like the massive tone i get from my spector (4lx) those are the sounds i like. so what pickups do i buy! emg, bartaloni, seymour duncan. the list goes on!
thanks for your help!
Howie
