Musashimonkey Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I recently got hold of a Spector Legend 6 which had already been upgraded with EMG-X pick ups and preamp. I don't think this choice complements the bass, there are a range of tones that sound awful, and although I can dial in some good tones, I can't help but feel a change would be better. So.., does anyone have any suggestions at all please? I love my Bartolini in my MTD, and my East in the Clement, but not sure what would suit this?

CamdenRob Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I looked into this a while ago and struggled to find many pickups that were a direct replacement... The originals were a bit of an odd size and most replacements would have required routing. I grew to quite like the stock pickup and tonepump in the end.

Machines Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 My Q6 has EMG-HZ and BTS preamp that I didnt like so much. I think it was more to do with pickup positions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naetharu Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Have you had a look at bass culture pickups? I tried a bass with some last month and they sounded beautiful. They're hand made and I've come across a few people saying that they've used them as an upgrade from USA bartolinis. Might be worth looking into?

Musashimonkey Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Cheers guys, thanks for sharing, much appreciated. I'll have a look at the bass culture ones, never considered them an upgrade from Barts. Thank you. Further suggestions or advice still welcome here...

Naetharu Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think the thing with Bass Culture is that they are all hand-made to order so you can spec them out as you'd like. If you do go for them you'll need to find someone here to help translate unless you speak German as Christoph does not really speak English - but from what I have seen of them it's well worth the effort.
