2008 era P bass - factory vs aftermarket sound clips?

[sigmafloyd]

Anyone have sound clips comparing the stock MIA p bass pickups on a 2008 era P bass to aftermarket ones? I'm mostly interested in the custom shop 60s, Seymour Duncan spb1 or the angular 60s one. Thanks!

In my 08 I've tried: stock, SPB1, Fender Originals, Aguilar, Lollar, Vintage Vibe, Novak and Antiquity II.

All the aftermarket ones were a more classic take compared to the stock pickup. I found the SPB1 and Fenders to be my favorites by far, with a slight edge to Fender (at least for now). They are also two of the cheaper options.

Wow. How big of a difference did they make compared to say string choice or amp choice?

Amp choice def has the most noticeable sound changing effect. All else being equal, most of those pickups offered incremental changes in sound and in some cases I think you'd never notice on a gig. Having been through all those, I would invest minimally if you are going to experiment. Start with the Fenders or SPB1 first and see what you think.
