Ibanez SR300 Bass, Active?
I just bought an ibanez sr300 bass with active eq. Does this mean that i could install active pickups and use the active eq's battery to power them?
Or would I have to install another battery pack?
Thanks

Well I dont know about the sizes of the SRX-505's pickups, but I know that Bartolini makes a TON of different sized pickups. What kind of setup are you using?

Im sure it can be done but it would probably be a better idea to just replace everything. Im assuming your bass has a PJ pickup setup so you have quite a few options as far as pickups go. But if you are gonna replace the pickups i'd also replace the preamp. What kind of tone are you after? |

See the thing is I have to be able to play a bit of everything since on weekends I play with a mexican band for money and practice but I also play mostly black/death metal and crust with bands so I really need somthing that can cover all that wich is asking a lot. my rig is decent I seen to think for what I paid its a peavey mark 5 head and a peavey 1x15 cab.

I dont think there are any pickups that are a direct replacement for those found in the SRX-505, so maybe you could invest in one of these instead: http://www.bestbassgear.com/sansamp...e-driver-di.htm
These things are pretty cool, you can dial in some really warm, fat tones and some awesome distortion if you need it. It also doubles as a DI for recording or going direct into a PA. If your problem is you tone isnt "fat" or "big" enough, one of these would provide a substantial improvement.

im looking for a very wide selection of tones. the bass has a cool double knob thing that lets you change the bass and treble but i want more. but if these pickups are indeed some of the best maybe im stuck

Well I looked up your bass and it has stock Ibanez pickups, which are far from the best and that gives you a lot of options.
Check out this page: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/ca...kups.bartolini/
