Foreward: I've always been annoyed by the lack of sound samples available for P pickups, among others. I've decided to do something about that. This is a precusor to my ultimate precision pickup shootout that'll be coming soon that will feature a variety of strings, pickups, and styles on this one bass. If you want to contribute your own pickups (only on loan!) or be a part of it, please PM me.
I have on hand, this DP 127, SPB-1, HW1 stock, and will be testing our own John Worrell aka JWorrellBass's new Neo P pickup when he's finished making it. I'd love to make this test more comprehensive in style and pickups tested. This is just a very rough test-run. 
This is not meant as the best example of my abilities. It's just a demonstration of the pickup on my P directly into Audacity via an M-Audio Fastrack. No compression or effects, so forgive the volume differences. It was so you get the true sound rather than an effected one.
If you have any requests let me know! Highway 1 P, DP127 in series, Roto 66 Drop Zones tuned BEAD => I play fingers and pick just over the PU and slightly treble side of them on the upper strings due to the way I hold the bass.

My impression in very few words... After listening a couple of times, I feel like the DP127 is a very deep pickup when run in series (haven't tried parallel yet!) and trumps old school thump with reggae bump. The P bass is still there, but it's just better (IMO, of course). I was hoping this would sound like a soapbar. While not there, I dig it.
