I have a question regarding replacing pickups, which may trigger an argument. This is not my intention, I’m simply curious…
After spending a great deal of money on a high quality bass (in my case $800), what would be the reason for wanting to replace the pickups? Is the manufacturer’s choice of pickups inferior or inadequate? Can I not trust Yamaha to provide me with good quality pickups despite this being one of their top of the line basses? Can other people who have spent good money on other brands of basses not trust their manufacturer to have provided good quality pickups?
Sorry if I’m kicking over a bee hive with this question, but I really would like to know.
