EMG- 40HZ Replacement 5 String Bass Soapbar Pickup Suggestions?

[maschoff]

I'd like to replace the EMG- 40HZs in my Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 string bass and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

They are passive and I would like to stay that way, not really a fan of active pickups; the whole crispy thing.

I have a Bartolini 5.4 A/P preamp installed.

Any suggestions would be great. I'd love to pick up some of the Neo 40s from Lutherie SGD but they're back ordered through him and I'm not sure about whether or not Best Bass Gear will have them anytime soon.

Let me know if you do! Thanks!

I had some SGD pickups, I live local to him and told him I'd only buy if he sent immediately. He did. Now I see there are like 40 orders he stil owes and talkbass is slamming him hard. Hell he made me new pickups instead of thirty other people who were waiting up to two years.

So if you go SGD ONLY buy them through best bass gear.
