In order to be as un-annoying as possible in asking "what's the best pickup for <blank>?", here's two in one thread:
-Fretless bass? the bass in question, annoyingly, has EMG-35 DC's in it currently, annoying both because I don't like the tone and it's an odd size; maybe some Nordy's? Ideal tone here is (predictably enough) "warm and woody" (giggity). maple/mahog body with a padauk/pau ferro neck, it's going to be pretty warm on its own, I think...
-Bass VI? Namely, something that sounds more bass-y than traditional Jag pickups, ideally something that would sound good in a bass amp. This is more rhetoric, as the guitar doesn't exist yet. Maybe some hot DiMarzio's like Pettruci uses in his bari?
