neepheid Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 My better half bought me a DiMarzio Model One bass pickup for Christmas, and here it is in my Midtown Standard. Warning - the Model One is a direct replacement for the old school sidewinder "mudbucker" pickups which Gibson used to use. It is not a direct replacement for the modern TB+ pickups masquerading as mudbuckers Gibson are using these days. I had to take the chisel to the pickup route to take a few mms off each side before it would fit. That'll teach me to assume stuff. Had a spare 500k push/push pot in the spares box so I wired it series/parallel. Parallel sounds nice, series is beefy but a little less boomy than the stock pickup. Haven't had a chance to use it in a band scenario but it's a definite improvement on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Moon Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wasn't planning on doing any work on it. It's about to be set up for heavier strings though. By a professional, not myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Setting up for heavier strings is easy. You should do it yourself. All you need is a crowbar and a reasonably powered circular saw. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Can you afford to lose all the money that you do on these guitars, buying them an market rate then having a fire sale two days later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
