"Nastiest" P-bass pickup?

[Phantopeth]

So I'm looking to rework the electronics of my Hondo P-bass knockoff, and this bass just screams over-the-top. I'm looking for opinions on which pick-up people think is the grittiest, nastiest, hottest P-bass split coil pickup on the market. Anyone?

Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder. Probably the hottest, meanest P-bass pickup ever made.

It also looks really badass, with its oversized pole-pieces

You can check up delano, they are pretty damn hot as well. The big pole make it like badass lol.

 

[BellBottomBlues]

Lindy Fralin's as you can make the output as high as you want.

Nice, thanks for the input guys. I'll admit the Quarter Pounders were the first to come to mind. I wish there was a way to test-drive these things. Yea, big pole pieces = B.A.

Fralin's custom winding isn't a bad idea, though.

Think "Mid-scooped rock tone"

+1. Those seeking a "vintage" P-bass sound are ALWAYS disappointed with Quarter Pounders!!!

hmmmm.... I do love me some mids, though. Any production basses out there come with Delano's in 'em? I'd like to check those out.

Lol, CLOVER basses from Germany come with them as stock equipment

also, this "Human" bass comes with Delano Pups and Glockenclang (sp?) preamp.

Consider the G&L Magnetic Field Design Split-Coil pickup from the SB-2. Super high output.

Will I be shot for suggesting the DiMarzio Split-P? It sounds pretty "nasty" to me.

OHH man that's a good idea!

 

[JGR]

SD Hot P bass - SPB-2. High output and lots of mids.

I prefer the DiMarzio "Will Power" middle pickup myself.

Rock....mid scoop?

If you're looking for nasty, a Rio Grande Muy Grande is a safe bet.
