Lace Pickups Riffblaster P-Bass Pickup

Ich habe die Riffblaster in meinen PJ- Bass eingebaut. Wie mein Vorredner, habe auch ich die Kombination mit den Seymour Duncan STK-J2B Jazz Pick-Ups gewählt. Ich bin komplett begeistert. Die Pick-Ups ergänzen sich Sound-technisch perfekt.
Die Riffblaster können bei vollem Volume unglaublich aggressive und dynamisch klingen. Dreht man das Volume etwas runter bleibt ein perfekt abgerundeter Bass-Sound der noch genügend Mitten und Höhen hat.
Für mich entspricht der Klang meiner perfekten Soundvorstellung.
Als Anmerkung: Ich habe die Pick-Ups in einen Squier PJ-Bass eingebaut. Es ist unglaublich welch eine Soundqualität sich so aus dem Bass rausholen lies.

So I typically don't leave reviews, but seeing how these pups don't have any right now I thought I'd leave my thoughts on them after a week of intense usage.

I wanted to replace my stock Fender pickups on my MIM P with something with a bit more oomph. The original pickups were *fine* but a bit too traditionnal sounding to me. I wanted more bite out of my P so I started shopping around.

Now I'm not a hardcore Converge fan ; I like them well enough, but I've always loved Nate Newton's tone, so I figured I'd take a plunge and try these out and they didn't disappoint in the slightest.

These pickups are killer. Hot, aggressive, well defined, dead silent, and with enough midrange punch to kill a mammoth within a few bars. They sound like active pickups with none of the downside of active pickups. No battery to swap out - which is always a bit of a pain to do on a P since you have to remove the pickguard - and no additionnal drilling required to carve a spot for the battery.

I don't even feel the need for OD pedals anymore. These pups drive my terror bass into the perfect sweetspot with no hassle. Played lightly and with the tone rolled off they can be tamed and offer everything you love about a P bass.

That being said, there are a ton of P pups which can give you that. These pickups truly shine when you start digging in. With bright strings and a pick they can pierce through most any mix with gusto. With low action and aggressive finger picking, à la Steve Harris, they give you the most wonderful clanky tone ; percussive yet musical, with warm highs, crushing mids and punchy lows.

I've only had these for a week and yet they've killed any GAS I may have had. This is the P bass tone I've always had in my head. Lace knocked it out of the park ; Nate Newton can be proud of these. They should be on the shortlist of anyone who seeks a modern P bass tone.

Habe die Riffblaster in einem PJ-Bass mit einem Seymour Duncan STK-J2 kombiniert. Bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Der Klang der Riffblaster ist dynamisch und bassig-voll und wird durch den Bridge-PU für meinen Geschmack super ergänzt. Für den Einbau einfach am Schaltplan der Lace Man-o-war auf der Lace Homepage orientieren, da dort für die Riffblaster aktuell kein eigener Schaltplan zu finden ist.
