Even with the tone rolled off the bass still has a pretty modern sound. You definitely get more of a thump instead of a punch when you do this, but the inherent character is still modern sounding - if that makes sense.
Personally, I would not suggest this pickup if you are looking for a truly vintage sounding pickup. If you're looking to make your Precision sound clearer, punchier, and more aggressive, however, then this pup will get you there with ease  |

So... you didn't really want to put the Dunlop strings on?
I have a set of Rotosound swing 66 steelies currently on my bass but I've gotta say that my favorites strings up to this point are the Dunlop nickels...
I'm gonna give the Dunlop steels a chance next..

I tried a set of Hi Beams and decided that DRs are nicer on my acoustic guitar
and Rotosounds are good on my electric guitar
The Dunlops I tried were the first in string change on the Squier since I had bought it..

But these are dead quiet, even when I accidentally touch the exposed pole pieces.

I asked about the shielding cause I didn't know if these pickups run "hotter" than the stock Squiers..
