Wait a sec, it doesn't sound muddy. Aren't those pickups wound to around 30k? How'd you get them to be so clear? Love the bass too btw.

Yes, supposedly they're 30k.
Artec makes some fine pickups.
Maybe the choice of wood and the bolt-on maple neck help a little too.
Ever since I used the Artec Mudbucker as a bridge pickup in the first bass I ever built, I know they work great.

Nice work, is that PRS wiring on the pickups?

Basvarken · July 04, 2022, 03:14:19 AM

Thank you.
I have no idea what PRS wiring is. But the wiring was done by my good friend BQ Music.
I asked him for these switching combinations and he came up with the wiring diagram and soldered it for me.
