Waddycall Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 New pick up cover day (sorry I’m bored). I fitted a Nordstrand MM4.2 between the stock pickups of my bitsa fretless jazz some time ago. Since the last band broke up I’ve sold my other basses to focus on improving my fretless technique. I have been really struggling with intonation on the g string above the 10th (fret). I realised I was getting a chorus effect on the strings from the excessive magnet pull. I tried adjusting everything to get rid of it but in the end decided to pull the MM pickup out which left a massive foil lined hole. I considered making a ramp, changing the body, buying a new bass but in the end decided to try and find an empty no hole pickup cover. Couldn’t find any available in stock on the web but Aaron at Armstrong pickups sorted one for me for very little money 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Go active. EMGs have much weaker magnets and the preamp in the pickup does the work. That should solve any magnetic pull trouble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
