Favorite "Weird" P Pickup?

I've a T-Bird humbucker in one P-bass and a Peavey Super Ferrite single coil in another. In the workpile there's a P-bass waiting on me installing a Guild BS-1 , P-bass due a Warman Drive train Quad coil humbucker

 

I have a vintage PAF era DiMarzio P in my parts P bass.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

Delano PMVC 4 FE/M2: DELANO PMVC 4 FE/M2 or the alnico version (which I haven't yet tried), the PMVC AL/M2: DELANO PMVC 4 AL/M2
G&L MFD P
and a sorta wildcard, but the old discontinued Seymour Duncan "Active EQ" P with the 3 mini switches has become one of my favorites

 

Yeah its one of my favorites, the only downside being that the output is so high that it tends to slam alot of my favorite pedals too hard (I had a similar problem with Darkstar pickups too back when I had a pair in a bass many years back)

 

Smart move- I probably should do the same so I could set up another bass with an MFD again! These days I play with a few active basses with similarly high output, but the beauty of an active bass is being able to actually use the volume control on the bass to cut output without killing the tone.

 

I think you'd probably dig the Delano options too based on your tone description. I found the FE/M2 to be in the same general fat but articulate and growly tonal universe as I recall my Darkstar'd Jazz sounding (and would expect the alnico version to be even more articulate)

 

You have the J version in bridge position or the P version? The P version is definitely fatter than the J (though the J version is pretty fat for a J as well- I used to have a set of the J FE/M2 pickups too)

 

Oh cool! That sounds pretty wild! I've seen the reverse of that a few times but never anything like that

 

My favorite 'weird' pickup in a P-position is the one in my Peavey T-45 (left)

My favorite normal P is the growly stock Reverse-P monster in my '89 MIJ Fender Power Jazz Bass Special (right)

 

I love this in mine . Hard to find used .
