Question '54 SCPB vs '51 SCPB pickups

Sign in to disble this ad
I've am looking for information, images, and specs for the modifications Fender made to their SCPB pickups in late '53 for issue in the '54 - '56 P-basses. if I understand correctly, Fender adopted a staggered pole piece in the redesign to produce a more even string volume

does anybody have info they can share on these?

I'm searching because I'm wanting to build a '54P styled to incorporate the contoured body upgrades into the original '51P styling. it only seems a natural to also utilize the upgraded specs pickup as well




thanks in advance!

all the best,

R
