Replacement Pickups For Ibanez Bass??...

[Strat Avenger]

Does ANYone make replacement pickups for the Ibanez "Soundgear" 5-string bass?  I haven't been able to find any.
The stock pickups sound good, BUT are out powerful (loud) enough.

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

All of the ones I think would fit would also be active, still high output.  Does your amp have an active input or pad with a -db cut?

It has a Active/Passive switch.

The pickups themselves are passive, but the bass has an internal preamp with active EQ.

Hey I've got one of those - don't suppose you have the black dyed top?

I never use it, just wanted to have a bass in the house for recordings I never really do

It's solid gloss black. It's really pretty decent. I just wish the output was louder.

Try a new onboard EQ.. Like an Audere or Bartolini....
If your bass has the POS "Bartolini" (Chinese crap edition) pick-ups,
Bart makes USA made replacements as well....

Enjoy.
