Bass Guitar – Active to Passive pickups?
I have a Daisy Rock, “Rock Candy” style 4 string bass. I love it but I was wondering if I could improve the sound by adding new pickups and if I do that I would rather go passive. Is this an easy project to do? (I can change my own strings, adjust my own bridge etc.)
They don’t have “active pickups” in them, they have a preamp. You can switch the pickups, which are passive, with the ones you want and keep the preamp unaffected – you definitely want to keep the preamp, a bass with no preamp is going to suck unless it’s a lot higher quality than a basswood body can offer.
When you adjust your bridge, are you intonating it (ie, checking open string vs 12th fret harmonic)? I hope so, because if you just change your action without re-intonating you’ll end up out of tune when you play up the neck.
Another good idea is to see if you can run the preamp at 18v instead of 9v, if it’s not already. It’s a great way to add some headroom and clarity to the tone. I imagine either googling or emailing the manufacturer should provide that answer.
