The ASAT Bass was released a year or two too late for me, but most every one I see is highly worthy of serious GAS .......

Jumbodbassman; Please tell me how does the P split coil sound in the bridge position?

jumbodbassman · October 29, 2010, 10:01:41 AM

those pups are schaller /dimarzio so they are very hot. thats why i have switches for series/parallel which actually does something on these pups.

before these i had two 62 p bass ri in it. the bridge pup sounded like a post 1972 j pup with out the hum and maybe a little thicker on the low strings. If i were to do it again i would switch around the pups ( L sklar ) so that the part closest to the bridge would be the E A half.

My only maple board at present is on my Bronco, which is rapidly assuming status as one of my favorite basses. That TV Jones pickup I installed is an absolute joy!

where did you get the pup from??>

Luthier named Jack Read. He mentioned he had it as a take-out from an Electromatic Jr. Jet and I bought it. I had no idea what a good pickup I was getting. He said it was good, but I had no IDEA!

Was this a while ago? I thought Jack Read had dropped from sight.

Yes, it was 2-3 years ago...I don't recall exactly. I had it sitting for a long time, intending to drop it in my Lyle hollowbody - but it was too tempting to put it in the Bronco.
