Title: Activator STR PU fitting for Fender single coil PU basses
Post by: room037 on February 23, 2010, 08:06:54 AM

Hi all,
 
My 12 years old daughter wants her bass.
She is only 155cm (5feet) tall, because I recommended short scale bass.
She is interested Fender Mustang bass, but I feel little bit noizy.
Then I have a plan of Alembicized for Fender shortscale bass.
Fender Bronco and MusicMaster bass (also original Precision bass) have one stratocaster size PU.
 
Anyone knows fitting STR Activator for bass ?
I want to know frequency matching of PU and Filter.

Doesn't the Mustang have a split pickup?

A Special-Design Split Single-Coil Mustang Bass Pickup to be precise (always wondered what a regular-design one would be).  Bronco & Musicmaster, however, did/do indeed have a one-piece p/up.

get her a smaller bass. Personally I'd go for either a =1]daisy rock (http://www.daisyrock.com/products/basses/?lefty[)  or the new flea bass junior (http://www.fleabass.com/).

I owned one of the Fender Japan Mustang Bass reissues and really liked it! I didn't find any noise problems at all. I thought it had a nice, punchy sound - actually, I have a soundclip!
