I just had a wacky idea - would love to have a set of these pickups:
And put them in this bass:
I don't have a spare low-impedance set, mind you, just thinking out loud. Would the pickups have to be slanted to fit in the given space in the Guild?
Could they fit?!! Alembic Activators would be another idea but there probably isn't enough space for the electronics. Dark Stars or some other Bi-Sonic clone would be the most obvious choice since they would probably fit without too much trouble.
I wanted to like the humbuckers - I actually have gotten a good sound out of them, but with the help of an Alembic SF-2 Superfilter. As they are, I have found them to be rather unspectacular.
At this point this project is not going to happen - the bass doesn't go out much - just imagining out loud!
