I have read somewhere that they might be designed to drop out a little on treble, so as not to create ice pick harshness or shrillness.Īnother thing I've done to expand both bass and treble, while the midranges are ample, is to install a Fender TBX, treble/bass X-pander in a quality MIJ Squier bass, which made the thing pretty loud and aggressive. ![]() so if they are the same size, one of SD's Hot Rails would work because they truly do not have poles or specifically patterned individual magnetic fields, for a certain number of strings. If, and I don't know this, but if the single coil is the same size as a regular guitar single coil, with the only difference being number of poles, 4 versus 6, although they're covered up on these models, but you must have only 4. I didn't see a true stack in single coil size, but have other ideas. On the Seymour Duncan website that was given above, I like the Quarter Pounder which is going to fit, and its description for metal, and maybe a little thrashing. They too are just hum cancelling, and maybe a bit more versatile, but no sonic boom or anything major. And BTW, the 2 original pickups on a Mustang do NOT make it any louder than a single on the Musicmaster. Not advisable anyway, on a vintage instrument. However, you can see that it would be a fair amount of trouble to get a full size humbucker into either bass guitar, with routing necessary, as well as specialized pickguard cutting or fabrication. To answer your questions one at a time, adding to what's already been advised and said, I used to have a vintage Mustang Bass with a custom installed Gibson SB full size chrome humbucker in its dead centre. Firstly, I lifted them from the Guitar Garage site, and give credit to Boston Guitar Repair - I hope he doesn't pull them from his photobucket, this is like a free ad man? These are the smallest pictures I could find of what you have to work with in the Musicmaster bass.
