Smash Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 What I need is a Neck pickup with lots of bass resoponse, I have a humbucker at the bridge and was going to go for a Dimarzio Will Power at the neck but these are fairly costly and hard to get hold of, I see Fender have a chrome humbucker on their Telebass Squire but I can't seem to find one anywhere for sale other than in the bass. The other route would be to use 2 Jazz pickups side by side near the neck as humbucker but not sure how this would sound and how much bass response they would give. Any suggestions?

I'm now having second thoughts and need to speak to the tech who was going to do the work before going ahead. I'll let you know if it's free. It looks just like the original, i.e., it has the Fender logo embossed on the chrome cover. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) We've got one Shadow Bass Dopester (what kind of name is that?) to clear at £22. [url="http://www.themusicroom-online.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/2603"]http://www.themusicroom-online.co.uk/produ...roducts_id/2603[/url] It's another humbucker; no idea on the tone but the name, I suppose, suggests warm fuzzy feelings! Ped suggested it would be gracious to offer some kind of discount.. if you want this, put "hubrad said it was ok" in the notes section for free p+p.
