Free Pickups

Yeah, I'm in love with the P. To be specific, I'm using the short version of the p that's more of a universal fit than the tall one. My stock Fender routes were too shallow for the 7/8" one but I'll be dropping it in my project bass when I have time to redneck route it with a chisel and hammer. ;)

PS- John, I apologize for the amount of time the j review is taking me to get to. I just need a day to sit down, replace the old crappy wiring in it and bang out clips on the B4 like I did with the p.
 
Why couldn't we have a sarcastic emoticon!
I have re assembled my bass now and have taken a few sound clips (all tuned down half a step). Will find some way of posting them but have done quick demos of:

Both PUs, tone full, fingers
Both PUs, no tone, fingers
Both PUs, tone full, pick
Both PUs, no tone, pick
Bridge PU, tone full, fingers
Bridge PU, no tone, fingers
Bridge PU, tone full, pick
Bridge PU, no tone, pick
 
Soundclips are uploaded!
There are a few mistakes here and there but the main point is to hear the pickup!
The Jworrell PU is twinned with a Seymour duncan Quater pounder P pickup in an Aria STB PJ bass with A'Daddrio Prosteels (+ a string I can't remember the brand of on the G) tuned half a step down.
The song is King nothing by metallica.
