byrne182 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Right, I’ve got a squier cabronita p bass and the fidelitron it came with is rubbish. Any recommendations for replacement? Cost will play a part so probably won’t be able to afford tv Jones :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have to ask....why buy it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkfingers Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 A TV Jones pickup will probably cost more than the bass did! Option 1 - Find a pickup that will drop into the existing 69 x 35mm rout. Option 2 - Consider enlarging the rout to accept a larger (but less expensive) aftermarket pickup. Option 3 - Try the stock pickup through better volume and tone pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I had the full cabronita, pick up is not ‘rubbish’ (although it is of course subjective) but it is quiet and a lower output. if you really drive it with a Preamp you will get a good sound. Failing that it’s a rout, but you will be spending the cost of the bass to get it up to spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Have a word with this fella. Repairs/rewinds etc from £40. https://www.herrickpickups.com/products/repairs-rewinds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If I was going to modify my Epi T/bird pro 4 it would be with decent humbuckers, after changing the pre amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkfingers Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) I reckon that an EMG FT would just about fit diagonally across the 'Tron rout. If you wish, disguise it with a 54 style P Bass metal screening cover. The price includes USA pots and a Switchcraft jack socket. All good stuff. Be in no doubt. This little pickup can deliver plenty of low end. Edited January 1, 2018 by Funkfingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
