How do they compare to Fralins, Nordstrand's etc.? luknfur 10-25-2006, 11:59 AM For those of you who have bought any of the Fender reissue basses from Japan, what do you think of this US vintage pickups they come with? How do they compare to Fralins, Nordstrand's etc.? FWIW: Not that up on Fender stuff but a lot of their MIJ MIM basses have US pups in them. I know some of the MIJ basses had MIJ pups in them. I had one of those that was PJ and didn't think much of those pups. But some of their US pups I haven't thought much of either. Fender's pretty obscure as to what exactly they stick in some of their basses so unless they state specifically, I'm guessing they may stick whatever needs to move off the shelf into them at a given time. Go to harmonycentral.com bass reviews and see. DEFUNKTED 10-25-2006, 07:18 PM They're listed as US vintage pickups but who knows what that means? I'm sure the Fralins or Nordstrands would be nice improvement in sound. Ostinato 10-25-2006, 08:06 PM ..or Dimarzios |
