I have a P bass in need of some pickups, it is a early 70s swamp ash body with a Roseewood neck.I play in a 3 pc.jazzy Biker blues hard rock style band. The bass is out front.
I have narrowed it down to the Rio Grande Muy Grande, and Lollar P bass pickups. Does anyone have insight on these two...
Any one have a review,opinion, or sound clip. On the rio grande muy grande pickup for P bass? Can you still get a sweet vintage tone when you back off on the volume? Or do you sacrifice that? Thanks!!
I have been intrigued by these Muy Grange's for some time now. But have never had the chance to hear them, even sound bites. Honestly I'm going to pull the trigger on either the Lollar standard ones, or the Muy grandma's. Can the muy grandes pull off a sweet jazz sound, and or funk as well in...
which fender P Bass 62 ORIGINALS are the highly spoken of ones? The custom shop fenders at approx. $95.00, or the $65.00 fender 62 originals
Also how about the custom shop 57s. Anyone have any experience with any of these??

Looking to get new pickups for my 73 p bass. style= Blues, funk, hard rock,jazz. Thinking of the Nordstrand np4, spb-1, muy grandes, or emg geezers,lollars, and Marlins. Your in site appreciated.
Considering these two pickups for a 1970 P bass that is without a pickup. now I now these two are probably completely different, but just gathering your opinions, to help make a decission.
1st the bass- rosewood neck alder body, flatwounds
2nd style- jazzy, blues based, funk, rock.
3rd...
I have a 1972 Fender P bass project. never had a body. I just bought one with no bridge holes. what is the accurate to measure and install the bridge, it is stock standard neck.
Thanks!!
Did Fender use a sanding sealer on there solid color alder bodies?
exmp. so say a 1970 p bass in custom black. was the nitrocellulose lacquer painted right over the alder wood? or was it sealed first?
CTS pots 500k audio for the tone pot, and 250k linear for the volume, this is the best cobmination Ive heard. you will have a hard time finding solid shaft in a linear taper though.
so i use a split shaft cts there and solid for tone
