glassmoon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hello all here in BC Land... A question, if I may... so I have a 90s BBG5 which I got for gigs where my '96 TRB6 may be a tad overkill, and while I love how it feels, plays and looks... I can't help feel that the pickups are somewhat lacking - ok, a lot lacking. While I am a massive fan of Bartolini gear (I replaced the stock pups in the TRB), I wouldn't mind checking out some other, perhaps less expensive options... really, just something I can solder in and not have to worry too much about... Any suggestions as to what I might consider would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Back when I had a Yamaha B1200 a previous owner had installed EMGs. I always got a sound that I liked and that worked well in a band context. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, I always thought EMGs were the sole domain of "metal" bass players - hence me staying away (only cos I am not a metal bass player, not cos I don't enjoy metal)... but after discovering that one Victor Wooten and one Henrik Linder play EMGs, I have looked a little more closely... that is a great reminder to check them out! Now... in the UK (I have only been 'here' for a year), where is the best place to get EMGs? Thanks @gary mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
