Recently picked up a Vaccaro Hartke aluminum neck bass and the EMG actives it came with sound like ass - and not in any good humourous or sexolicious kinda way. What's out there on the cheap?
I know GFS sells bass pickups, but I haven't heard much about them and have had mixed experiences with their guitar stuff (and customer service). I'm even considering picking up a random $20 pair on ebay, likely made of asbestos and ground up babies, as the ones that came stock in my SX are surprisingly decent.
So: - cheap (don't want to spend more than $100, ideally closer to $50), used is a-ok - bass pickups. Something in the P and/or P/J variety. Entirely open to oddballs in the bass/J spot if it doesn't involve routing. -

Dunno if the Quarter Pound J is as good as the P, but JR.com is blowing it out for $29. They seem to be getting out of musical instrument stuff entirely, though, so slim picking for anything else.
