I'm wanting to replace the stock pups in my peavey grind bass sometime soon hopefully. I don't really know a damn thing about bass pickups as I've never looked into them. So far the only ones that have caught my eye are the EMG 40DC and 40CS. Any others I should look into? Any good passives around?
 
If its a newer Grind I think the pups are the same size as the Cirrus pups. So with that in mind, you should get them! I know if you call Peavey they sell factory direct replacement parts. Just make sure and upgrade the preamp too! The Seymour Duncan preamps are really nice.
 
From what I've read the CS's are supposed to be a bit warmer than the DC's but I'm kind of wanting clarity and punch, so maybe a pair of DC's would be the way to go.
