pickup question

Post by robert(original) »

ok, so... after jamming on the thundercats for a good few hours aen and i are thinking that hotter pups are needed, the stock cij pups are..... good, but since its a bass it seems like it needs something more, i wasthinking the lil killer rails thru gfs. (neck is 6, mid 10, and bridge is 15 ohm)
i can't remember whatthe stock pups are(like 5.5 maybe?)
but also it would be nice to get something with some low end, or something designed with low end in mind.
anyone got any ideas?

If i remember rightly, rail pickups are ceramic, which tend to have shitty highs and sound brittle. How about their overwound alnico pickups? Should give the bass back.
