Members dert_stylus Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 Any suggestion as to which I should get? I just bought a Switch Innov IV and want to change the pick ups. Must be passive and not SD Basslines as I already have them on my Model T.I was thinking maybe the Dimarzio P/J set up selling for about $89 at MF. Thanks for the help.

Members Darkstorm Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yeah the dimarzio regular PJ set is a great choice. Been a common upgrade choice for fenders etc since the 70's. Alternately emg hz passive pj set (not the selects, the regular modern hz's) might be worth looking at. Little more crunch to the sound BTW what do you think of the switch's sound, playabity & feel. I understand is all manmade materials for body & neck? When theyfirst came out saw they had some midi pup equipted ones for synth interface. But couldnt decide if liked their looks & no clue bout sound from body materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beam Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 Bartolini and Sadowsky make very good sounding affordable sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fred TBP Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 Every bass I've ever owned or built with DiMarzio P/Js got sold quick. They can simmer, cook and BURN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 I got a pair of Kent Armstrong P90s for my guitar last Christmas and I couldn't be happier. I'm pretty sure they have a P/J setup for bass. I haven't heard them but if their P90s are any indication you'll be happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong there. I have that set in my Fankenbass and they sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the Switch, I love the sustain that It has. I also own the Les Paul Guitar Knock Off and that also has killer sustain !!! And you can get them cheap , $99 for the bass (ebay) shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Apendecto Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 I routed out a P bass of mine with a template and router bit from Stewart Mac. Turned out professional looking to my surprise. I have a Seymore Duncan Quarter Pounder matched up with a SD Jazz Hot Stack Humbucker. Sounds awesome. Yo.

They can simmer, cook and BURN! I can't tell if you are saying this is good or bad. Got sold quick as in you hated it and got rid of it as fast as you could? Or that they sounded so good you had no shortage of buyers. Simmer cook and burn as in sounded hot, or fried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 What about a matched set of the SD Quarterpounders? As for the DiMarzio's, I can vouch for the Split-P having great tone! Now, if they only made a Split J to match it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrcrow Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 some reviews a stacked J will take the hum away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
