'57 Pickups or '60s?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for some replacement pickups for a P-Bass. I want to get that old Green Day tone (where Mike Dirnt used a '69 Precision Bass with Seymour Duncan Antiquity Pride pickups - but I'm not sure which one). But I'd also like a decent RHCP and Metallica tone (doesn't have to be dead on).

I'm interested in the Seymour Duncan Antiquity Pride ones, there are two however.

Antiquity Pride I ('57 style)

and

Antiquity Pride II ('60s style)

Which do you think would suit better?

If Dirnt used a 69 P then you would do best with Antiquity II's in it.

The 57 that I have is very clear sounding but not quite as balsy in the low end as the 60's P pickups.
I like it because it is not muddy in the least and I get a decent low end too.

Thanks, could you put up some sound clips please? Only if you can though
