Red Lace Sensor x1000. It's actually my favorite sounding bass pickup. Kinda crappy as a guitar pickup, though... IMO, of course. But really, it's all about what you want from your sound. At the end of the day, Laces are single coils and Hot Rails are humbuckers. One will never be confused for the ...

Hot rails and the Lace Sensor red are perennial favorites for Bronco bass mods. Both sound good as bass pickups, neither one should have a problem with string spacing, and as both are originally guitar pickups, they should work pretty well with the drop G tuning. The Lace Sensor has a reputation fo...

Well the strings you mentioned are likely only a few points lighter (if at all) than the strings the Bronco would come with from the factory, I think. And you'd be tuning those strings up a step and a half to G from E. They can probably take it, as would the guitar, but there's a balance to be foun...

Thanks for the reply, ekwatts! I have 2 baritones that are tuned to Drop A. So this would be just below that. Is that the same thing youre referring to? Why? I don't know. I could tune the Bronco to drop A as well but I wanted something different. Plus I wasn't sure how the neck would hold up or if ...

I need a great pickup that has a grea...
