I see the pic of a bass with P2's but no info, no matter. Are those available ala carte? I assume they are passive twin coils inside the shell? Same sonic signature as the larger 35 size (40?) shell? Thanks.

Hi,

Recently took delivery on what I guess are the P2 pickups. (correct? Not familiar with the term. Assume from context above it's just the soapbars in the smaller shells)

These are amazing pickups.

My ears are used to Alembic Series I pickups and Stock Fender Jazz pickups.

Active, these Sadowsky's provide a clarity similar to my Series I, and passive (or active & flat) they hover sonically around a J or PJ, depending on which pickup you favor. Not identical, but brethren to be sure.

My pickup location is different than a standard modern, and I believe this has a definite effect on the sound.

My [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] had the larger shells in the standard locations. (I think !?!) Also a great sound.

Hi back. Thanks will do.

Hi

The Sadowsky SoapBar in the J positions is a rockin combo. On my wish list for sure.

That position is what I have on a Warmoth bass only with Nordies Big Splits and I'm looking for a different sound, hence my interest in these.

Robert would you be able to comment, do these pickups have a bar magnet or pole pieces? String spacing (18mm) is one of the specs I'm working with. Thanks.

Doug,

These pickups have Bar Magnets. So, 18MM wont be an issue.

I got to spend some quality time with a metro PJ at bass central yesterday. I am a sadowsky believer now. my favorite tone came from rolling off the passive tone a bit , but still giving it a little bump with the treble boost on the preamp. it was a different tone than just running the tone control wide open. aggressive but not too hi-fi. the bass had "girth" that was just unreal.
