PauBass Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'd say Dimarzio Model Js. I have them on my Geddy Lee and they sound great, plenty of bottom end. If remember correctly, Bass Player Magazine described them as "Marshall Killers" becuase they cut through guitars with no problems. Added bonus is they are hum cancelling pickups.
