I love my AVRI58 Pbass but.. (Pup suggestion thread)


Recommended Posts

It's taken me a bit of time to get used to such a big neck but now I love my Avri58, the feel of it, the light weight, the finish that is naturally wearing etc. but overall I find it to be a very bright sounding bass for my needs.

I'd be interested in getting a different pup that would give me punch and an added warmth (something closer to 60s reissues) and taking off a bit of the harshness.

I thought of a quarter pounder as I have used it in another pbass and I remember liking it.. I also remember loving a Lollar pup I tried in a shop on a Nash bass.

Any suggestions on other pickups? I use roundwounds and I mainly play rock, pop and blues so I am not after a Motown/flats sounds.

Any help is much appreciated!

I have a Seymour Duncan P pickup in my bitsa (not the quarter pounder or the overwound or vintage model, just the basic cooking version) and it does the job. Nice tonal balance and not expensive. Clear but not over bright with rounds and with La Bella flats, it gives me the classic P bass sound.
