Wonderful Tone
These pickups made my Squire P-Bass into a Fender P-Bass in its tone and frequency response. I love the sound of my P-Bass now.

I had doubts about buying Fender aftermarket upgrades. I put this in '93 MIJ precision two years ago with some TI jazz flats and 50 shows later I've never looked back. I'm not sure if it's my bass or the pickup, but it has this really "woody", dirty, grit that sounds really unique with the tone up. It really has a believable vintage sound. I waited way too long to adjust pickup height because that really put it over the edge. My only hang up is the protruding pole pieces look kind of odd, but whacha gonna do.

62’ reissue P’bass pickups
My order came quickly! I have a Mike Dirnt signature P'bass and the pickups gave out, the new ones came on a brass plate that I had to modify to fit but it was no problem. They are super quiet and strong from bass to treble, definitely worth it.

Fantastic upgrade
Put these in my MIM Fender P-bass and was immediately blown away. The highs and mids are much brighter and more defined, and the lows have much more depth. I play a lot of Proggressive Metal, so being able to hear individual high notes through low growling djents is a must for me. These pickups give me that ability. The tone adjustment is very responsive, allowing me to dial in different tones without having to rely solely on my preamp. I would say my MIM P-bass sounds just as good if not better than my USA P-bass. The only difference now being neck feel.
Bottom line. Yes. A worthy investment.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them!
