J pickup to match a Fender Original Precision pickup in a PJ

I've been watching your post hoping I can benefit from all the advice. Hard to believe there is none yet since the Fender Original '62 P seems to have so many fans. Surely some of them must have used it in a PJ setup.

I'm approaching the question from the other direction. I recently bought a Fender Super 55 bridge pup from the TB classifieds with the thought of pairing it with some type of P pup in the LTD fretless shown in my avatar. I just ordered a Fender Original (aka '62) P as a possible mate, although it could also end up in a couple of other P basses.

Hopefully we'll see some responses from those who have been down this road.

 

X2 on Fender Super 55 for bridge J.

 

+1

or, and maybe easier to find, the dimarzio area J bridge. i've wired up lots of them with vintage P pickups like the fender or the duncan SPB-1, and they work nicely, give the classic tone, and of course are dead-quiet.

 

Super 55 would be how I go too. Thats a solid pickup, should play well with the other pickup. You could do pretty much any humbucker in the bridge though. I found the Delano pickups with the giant pole pieces sound good in the bridge position.

 

The 62 Original is a bit on the scoopy side, so maybe a DiMarzio Ultrajazz would work with it, as it's also pretty scoopy.
