I just picked this up for next to nothing and I really like it. Super light Japanese Ash (I think) and I dig the tort / natural look, it seems like a mid 70s Matsumoku bass.
I've done fretwork and I'm going to need to remount the bridge as the string alignment was horrible, even with this...
This is a brand new set of Bartolini 5-string soapbar pickups (72BD5K). I bought them over 10 years ago thinking I'd replace the stock pickups on my bass, but I sold the bass altogether and packed these away. I re-discovered them when I was cleaning some stuff out. Unfortunately, they're so old...

Hi all,
I am currently seeking a replacement passive neck soapbar pickup for my Epi Thunderbird Pro IV Classic to eliminate some of the muddiness of the stock TB Pros, and to gain more tonal versatility. I am not looking for strict reproductions of vintage Thunderbird pickups.
Does anyone have...

I am planning a build with dual coil soapbar pickups. I tried some basses with the MK1 and wanted something similar but slightly less polite and a bit punchier (I like the warmth but it's too much for me). MK5 seems to be a nice choice but I could find little to none reviews/sound demos.
Would...
Hey peoples!
I have a Squier Pro Tone V (Which I believe has Mighty Mites in it?), that I'd like to upgrade the pickups in. I posted in another thread that my plan is to wire it up with concentric Vol/Vol, a high pass and a low pass. I'm currently trying to decide on which pickups I want...
What soapbar pickups are wide enough for a six string at 19 mm string spacing? They would need to pickup signal from strings that are 3 and 3/4" wide. I prefer Bartolini or EMG soapbars The pickup routes in this six string bass are 4.5" x 1.5", but I could route them to be larger if I could...
Hey Talkbass, my friend, a long time user, showed me your way when asking about pickups just now.
A few years ago, a band slapped a bass in my hand to start playing - and at the time, I went to gc and got the cheapest bass in the store, a Dean with a Soapbar. Figured it was hard to break and I...

Apologies if this is a stupid questions!
It seems that all of the Rockbasses from Warwick come with "MEC soapbar pickups". What are these? Are the humbuckers or single coils? I'm just a bit confused at what a soapbar pickup is in terms of bass. (Looking at passive Warwick Rockbasses, not the...
Let's list some split coil pickups that come in soapbar housings.
Bartolini has this whole section on their site dedicated to split coils in different housings.
..and that's all I have.:p
Hopefully some of you a better informed than me. List what you know, and if you've tried them, what you...
I know what P & J pickups sound like. What's the general sound one can expect from a soapbar pickup? I'm thinking of removing the J pickup and install a soapbar in the bridge position and a P pickup in the neck position on my current bass. Of particular interest to me is how this...

Hello guys!
I've been looking for used Pedulla for a few months, and i finally bought one of the beauties in Blue green burst :) I bought it without trying it (because in my country i havent ever seen one of them) with Soapbar pickups, and i have a question, do You guys ever played or have any...
I have a bass that is using the EMG 35DC pickups and I am thinking about swapping them out. The design of the instrument is already geared towards clear highs, but with the EMGs on it, the top end is brittle, and rolling back the tone never really gets rid of it.
The 35DC is active with no other...

Title says it all - what's your 4-string soapbar pickup SIZE preference (NOT brand or pickup model!)
The question could be rephrased - if you were having a custom 4-string bass built, and your pickup of choice came in both sizes, which SIZE pickup would you choose to use?
Working a bit of...
Here is a super hard to find green JAPANESE Talman from 1995 with matching headstock.
It is NOT in the catalogue with this color and a matching headstock.
In the 12 years I've owned it I have now come a crossed another one.
In my research it was a mid year work up for the model and a summer...
