Hi,
I want to replace the bridge pickup (and maybe the neck) in my TB500. Any suggestions? I'm looking for higher output and clarity. I was thinking a mini hummbucker. Seymore's or Dimarzio's? Also my TB500 has covers over the pickups, are they attached or do they pop off? i.e. after new the pickup is in can I put the cover back over?
Thanks.

Mitch Manina, who worked at TBG 'til the bitter end, wanted a fatter, less trebley tone for his 500. He had me wind him a few pickups before he settled on one that had the sound he wanted. For years, I thought we'd developed the single coil pickup to surpass all others. Later I figured out that we'd done nothing more than clone a P-90. There are aftermarket versions available & a single P-90 at the bridge might be the perfect complement to a stock unit at the neck. Leave the covers on your TB pickups; removal would probably destroy them. (the pickup AND the cover.)

Try a Bartolini Hi-A. You may have to get, or fabricate a mounting ring, but the sound is great!
