'62 Reissue, Fralins, or Nordstrand?

[fourstringdrums]

I'm toying with replacing the stock pups in my Highway One P and I can't decide between:

Fender '62 Reissue Pickups (cheapest at about $74)
Lindy Fralin
Nordstrand NP4

or should I just not even bother? Unless it's a dramatic improvement I don't want to spend the money. I like the tone as it is I guess I'm just trying to get the most I can out of the bass. I already upgraded the tone cap to a .1 so that's a start.

I use the Np4 and love it.

But if you really wanna do yourself a favor try to use the search engine, there are lots of threads about this subject. And they are all very informative.

At the time you posted your thread this thread/link was already on the first page of "Pickups & Electronics".

Fralin vs. Nordstrand P-Bass pickups. Anyone tried both?

It might shed some light on the "tone".

Thanks and I saw those threads, but I'm also wondering about the '62 Reissue in comparison to those other two pickups. There is nothing on the forum that I was able to find that talks about the '62's in relation to the Fralin or Nordstrand.

Glenn - Well I would be just fine with the stock pickups, I do really like them as I said. I'm just curious about these 3 in comparison to my stock pickups. If they're even better in terms of the tone I'd love to put them in even if I already like the stock.

My mistake, I DID find atleast one thread comparing all 3. It was just tricky and took me a while.

A mod can delete this if they like.
