noooooob Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have this bass, http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Hofner-HCT-Galaxie-Short-Scale-Bass-Orange/J63 I love it to bits but the pickups just don't cut it for me, does anyone know if there are any straightforward pickup replacements I can buy, soundwise like the Seymour Duncan's SJB-2's, or will I need to do some serious customization, and is that even possible?!

Happy Jack Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The original Hofner 185 on which this is modelled used the then-standard 'Staple' pickups.

paulflan0151 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Could you not get them re-wound by somebody? Bareknuckle may be able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
