u/3string

Has anyone tried fender wide range humbuckers on Bass VI? My stock Squier Bass VI is too microphonic for good drone feedback sounds unfortunately. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the sound of the pickups, especially the middle one. I'm pretty keen to put a jazzmaster pickup in the neck position, and maybe a wide range humbucker in the bridge. I'm probably going to try potting the middle pickup and see if that helps.

I can't find anyone online who seems to have tried a wide range humbucker in the Bass VI though? Has anyone here tried this, or does anyone have any pickup recommendations for drone playing? I'm keen on big long chords, feedback with lots of bass (stock pickups go straight to screeching), and plenty of low end rumble.
