Fender Squire Pick ups

[Vaughn Bratcher]

Any upgraded DiMarzio pick up suggestions to replace the standard pups that came in my Fender Squire 5 string bass? I want a good slap sound.
Thanks Vaughn

Is it a jazz bass, p bass, or pj?

Don't know which one you have, but often (but NOT always) Fender-size pickups can be drop in replacements.

So . . . you always measure what's in there now and compare those numbers to what you're thinking of using, and beside the length and width, be sure to include the depth as well. And be sure and include checking where the height screws go through.

Over these many years and many places where Fenders and Squiers have been produced, while often they can be direct replacements, it's just often enough they're not, so be sure you've got your measurements matched up before you reach for your wallet.

It can be really aggravating that what would seem like a direct, drop-in replacement . . . . sometimes isn't !

Very informative, appreciate the insight. I will consider those variables when deciding which pups to order.
Thanks

It's the Jazz Bass!!

If you want Dimarzios, and a great slap sound, the Dimarzio Ultra Jazz might be the pickups you want.
