I just got my hands on a Gibson Grabber(mid 70s) off of ebay.

 

I'm running through an ampeg svt4 pro head and a peavy 810 cab.

 

I really don't like the sound I'm getting. I'd like more growl. If I put EMGs in it could I get a better sound? If so which emgs would you suggest?

the only value in that bass is its originality- that being the moving pickup. If you alter that, the value is negligible. Try the old eq pedal or whatever else- or get another bass. Of course if this is a beater, well have at it!

what about an ibanez tube screamer? i've read that the sound gets considerably warmer using these. i know they're designed for guitar but the bass played from thrice uses one.

 

the only other problem i see with them is the fact the i'm using a svt4 pro which isn't a tube(except for preamp) head.

 

what do you think?
