Fender V-Mod P bass pickups

Since I have the new GK Legacy 800 head I decided not to touch the pickups. With this amp I have all the punch and growl I need. The V-Mods aren't weak anymore.

After putting EMG GB pickups in my Squier it sounds massive. Now I'm thinking about changing the V-mod II to a '63 ultra vintage. Has anyone tried the '63's?

I have the Fender ‘63 in my Am Pro II and I really love it compared to the V-Mod. The E and A strings sound bigger/fuller without getting muddy. Overall, just sounds more balanced in my opinion.

That's great news, that's the tone I'm looking for. Hopefully change them out this weekend. Thanks!

That's what happened when I swapped positions of the V-Mods in my 2017 Am Pro Precision. Free.

I installed the '63 ultra vintage pickups and WOW!!! What a difference in the tone especially the E string. It was my first soldering job it wasn't the best but it works. I also changed the pickguard.

My AmPro series Precision is like a vintage P on steroids.

I agree 100% with your sentiments regarding this bass. It truly is like a vintage P on steroids and there's no better way of describing it. Now if only I could find more time to play the beast!
