Hey,
I’m hoping some of you have modded G4M 972 basses and can share what worked well.
Why I want to change the pickups:
I like the feel of the bass, but the output is low and the sound could be improved.
My plan:
Remove the preamp and install new, preferably passive, pickups. I'd rather shape the sound with a preamp pedal or VSTs.
Current candidate:
https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/blade-humbucker-soapy-stealth-5-7/ — I can’t find dimensions or any indication it would fit my bass.
Tone goal:
I’m aiming for a “Dingwall Metal” sound. I already have a Darkglass preamp, a SansAmp, and various VSTs (Ampeg stuff by IK Multimedia and Plugin Alliance, NAM Profiles etc...). Main goal is recording, not live playing for now.
I did some research but couldn't find much. Some installed a Darkglass Tone Capsule but since I have a Darkglass already I don't think this would help much.
Any recommendations on pickups would be appreciated.
