I'm not gonna replace the electronics, tuners or bridge, so the issue is, can a pickup alone be a difference-maker. A quality replacement pickup would substantially help the Bronco in the recording environment.ī: The Affinity Bronco is what it is. Aero Music Master Shipping and Returns International shipment of items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges. No, I'm not gonna spring for one! You wouldn't give a chimp a Stradivarius, right? What I'm wondering is (pick one):Ī. It made me sound only half as crappy! I'm sure all y'all are saying, WELL, DUH! But I'm a babe in the bottom-end woods who now understands why a top-shelf P-bass is worth all that extra money. if anyone else listens to it, that's just gravy.īut last week, my bassman buddy left his '70s Precision here overnight and my brain nearly exploded when I tried it out. I've used it for demo stuff, liking the short scale due to being a guitarist, and figured the sound was adequate for my humble purposes, which are to have fun recording music.
A while back, I swapped a trashed-out old Hagstrom 6-string for a Fender Bronco Affinity bass (no Squier wordage on the neck), year unknown. I'll just have to stop playing when I'm washing my smalls, I suppose.Hey all you bottom feeders! I'm not of your tribe, but I pretend to be in my garage studio (the Woodshed). So - is there anything else I can do to help quieten the bass? Or does the fact that it's a single coil mean there's only so much that can be done? Besides, I'd like to keep the bass as original as possible. Its easy enough to answer the amp question: great if you like a super clean sound, because bass amps are designed like PAs not to colour the sound very. I don't want to replace the original pickup because it's just the sound I'm looking for. Installed an extra ground wire, soldered onto same point as bridge ground wire, then screwed into cavity tape.Īll this has helped quieten the bass, but it still hums and picks up various RFI no mater what room in the house I'm playing in. But when it comes to replacing the pots, Im pretty clueless. Ive heard good things about these Aero pickups and since its specifically designed for the Musicmaster, I’m planning to give one of these a try. Put some isolating tape on the bottom tip of the jack prong to make sure it wasn't contacting the cavity shielding. For starters, its got a Strat pickup that is begging to be replaced with a more bass specific one. Resoldered the jack ground lead to the pot, since the original solder was only just hanging in there. Same tape on the underneath of the pickguard. This is what I've done so far to try to shield the bass:
But, it's not a humbucker, so it's noisy - it especially likes talking to my washing machine. The original 'Musicmaster' pickup has 6 pole pieces and was designed for guitar, not bass. We are dedicated to assisting you in getting the perfect pickup(s) that will provide you with the best possible tone of your desire and fit your. Aero is the first company to manufacture a true 4 pole piece 'Musicmaster' pickup. My understanding is the Vista Tone pickup is not a strat-derived guitar pickup like the Fender Musicmaster one - the Vista tone pickup is/was specially designed for the bass. Best Bass Gear is proud to carry a wide array of bass guitar pickups from manufacturers including Aero, Aguilar, Bartolini, Delano, Dimarzio, EMG, Fender, Lakland, Nordstrand, and Seymour Duncan. Stock pickup is 4-pole single coil job, and it sounds great - clanky and mids-forward - sort of reminds me of DiMarzio P I had in an Ibanez Blazer a while back. I've just bought a Squier Vista Musicmaster.
