Just wondering which pickups (bridge or neck) people tend to use the most, when playing live or recording...
Its been a while since I played bass properly, but I usually prefer both pickups on, or a slightly neckward bias with a passive tone and vol on full or an active EQ centred with slight adjustments to taste.
Do you make any different choices for fretless or 5 string playing or for different styles of playing?

don't have any choice on the P Bass I play with the tone control a lot though.
I'm pretty much using the neck pup only on the jazz since I defretted it - it helps get the 'Mwah' if you just use the one

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

My Yamaha which has a plit in the middle and a single jazz thing in the bridge I like to both have on full, gives a great tone!

yep same here for my Yamaha, being as it's the same single split coil setup. I find that I either have my tone at about 3/4 or rolled right off. Volume on fullbluesgeek wrote:don't have any choice on the P Bass I play with the tone control a lot though.
