The split (p-style) Pup on my Aria is pretty much dead…the D/G half needs to be about 2/3mm closer to the strings than the E/A half to get comparable volume but then they sound different, I’ve tried different amps and strings and cleaned every bit of circuitry I can get to but it still sounds bad.

Any recommondations on a good straight replacement for a p-style (ie. no woodwork!)? Fairly standard p-style location:

I play mainly blues/rock I like a lot of deep punchy bottom but also want to hear the full range of my bass…and I swear by passive basses. My budget, I’d guess, would cover ‘mid-range’ stuff…

Thanks for any help you can give, take it easy,

Tim.
