I use a Squier Deluxe Active IV bass as my main bass. Added in a set of Duncan QP's and its legit. I heard people talk shit about the QPs for years, but shit they nailed the sound I wanted.
Who's been shit talking QP's?!

As i explained that will be dangerously high tension, but now you've posted what you like for EADG you can work from that.I'm leaning towards 65-130 (with the 45 being scrapped) for the drop C tuning,
Go on Talkbass and you would swear they're one of the worst pickups ever made.
Are they "boutique or gtfo!" Over there?
A lot of them claim the QP is scooped and muddy as all fuck, has no clarity, and gets lost in a mix.
I mean they're dark, but they're not muddy. Shit my QP-loaded J can be tight as fuck.
LP2 was a qp-loaded jazz and the bass tones were awesome. I didnt know people ragged on them, but then Im not a bassist .
I had a VM jazz with dimarzio area J's for a while. Wouldnt mind that one back either.
What's LP2? Dumb question.
I almost got the DiMarzio Ultra Jazz set. Apparently they're kinda similar to Sadowksy pickups, which is the sound I was originally hunting down. But the QPs nailed it enough for me.
The second Sparrows LP.
Pro tip: track bass through a jcm800 for layering dirty parts

Could work, i've done it before.Pretty new here, so excuse my ignorance on anything "obvious"
Been looking to record some bass tracks in Drop C, and was wondering what thoughts people had on using a Japanese Geddy Lee Jazz bass with a 34" scale length, as well as any ideas on the best strings to use. Getting a new bass isn't really an option for me at the moment, and the GL's skinny neck is ideal for my feeble guitarist hands.
Cheers!
