Fretless Pickups

Recommended Posts

I have a g&l bass that has had the frets removed. The pickups in it are EMG actives and, agreeing with most of the opinions of EMG active pickups in the other pickup thread, I think the sound is way to hi-fi and hard, especially for a fretless.

 

What are some passive humbucking pickups (I'm assuming that's what I need) that will give me that really nice, warm, "mwah" sound with this bass?

Well, I was sticking up for EMGs in the other thread, but I do understand that some folks don't like them. For me, cost was part of the equation, too. If that were not the case, I would have taken the following advice:

 

Get out your checkbook, take a deep breath, and spend as much on Bartolinis as you can afford.

 

Who knows, I may do it myself one of these days. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif
