Hey all,

Just wondering what pickup is actually in these basses?
they're smaller than the musicman style humbucker bass pups and bigger than the seymour duncan style covered active pickups
Just wanted to see if there were any options with upgrading these?

I think I might just rout it for a P bass pickup and install a 4 band eq control plate and be done with it.

Just wanted to know if anyone out there has modified theirs and what they might have done.

Cheers,

Tom.

Hello Tom. I looked at Bartolini Pickups, they have dimensions for some pickups which might help. DiMarzio has a couple that could work. Seymour Duncan I'm not sure, but if you have the dimensions for yours a call to their CS could shine a light on a possibility or two. EMG has some bass pickups that might work as well but dimensions will help there too. Fender CS has always been helpful to me as has Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio CS. I haven't talked with Bartolini or EMG but they should help you if asked. There are other brands but again because your guitar is a newer model you will probably have to talk with someone there. Todd Rockfield has made some great bass pickups for BC Rich. Have fun shopping.
Beautiful guitar you have !
