adding a bass pickup???

[purple_hazer]

id you put some sort of bass pup in a 6er, what would it sound like or would it even work?

[da_s_man13]

You mean putting a 6 string bass pickup into a 6 string bass?....


Please re-word your question.

[purple_hazer]

im sorry, like a (hate to say this) regular six string guitar, not a bass.

and sorry if my avatar help confuse at all, les is just one of my favorite bassists even though im a guitar player

[neatobassman]

I don't know how that would sound. I've been thinking about throwing a P pup into a guitar just to. lol.

[bass&cookies]

hmm, i have an extra p pup lying around and room on my les paul knock-off...

[hartke20g]

it won't sound terrible or anything. it should sound more bluesy. i've seen it done before- only with a bi-pole j pup slanted at an angle on a guitar

edit: it was a 4 string J pup on a 6 string guitar.

[purple_hazer]

hmmmm seems like i should do this for some reason

[M33Schecter]

yeah, local h does that instead of getting a bassist...runs it through a different cable and everything, but im pretty sure he uses part of a p pickup on E and A only

[purple_hazer]

so itll work and have a pretty clean tone to it?

[blizzard]

It should work, as guitar and bass pickups work on the same principles, though bass pickups are wound to for basses range of notes but should still sound nice. I would look at pickups with coils instead of pole pieces as they should give you a more even response across all the strings.

[purple_hazer]

coils instead of poles, you mean bars or what?
