Is that Correct PU Setup for P Bass?

I figure Fender wouldn't show it if it wasn't correct: Precision Bass 60th Anniversary Celebration, Part Two - YouTube

Absolutely, as long as the strings sit (while pressing on the last fret)at 3/32" above the pick up magnet(s).
Peace.

Although it appears somewhat exaggerated, it puts the poles at the proper distance from the strings on a vintage style radiused neck.

Oooooh. Is that because the fingerboard is curved?

Yep.....That's about how my '64 P was set for over thirty years.

I have a 60th, and that's how it was set up when I got it. While I like a slight slope, my personal preference is a less-exaggerated angle than in the video.
