Need help choosing a p pickup

Haven't tried any of these but have read good things about all of them. SD antiquities, Fralins and Lollar will probably give you a more open vintage tone. The Geezer and Nordstrand have a modern twist and will probably be better for Rock stuff.
For your kind of music I would probably choose something with an open vintage tone. The Lollar gets good reviews at a very decent price point.

 

I'm all about the geezer.

 

Oh no. Nothing has that crisp top end of EMG actives. The Geezer's top end is decently bright like a good vintage Precision pickup and I don't think you'll have any problem hearing it, but not like EMG actives.

I'm not an pickup expert nor do I fully understand the physics behind it. But I do know that the resistance of a PU (DCR) increases with more windings. And that generally leads to more output and a bass and mid boost while reducing the high end. That's why I recommended a vintage output pickup since they have more high end and a more open sound to them. It's the same with guitar humbuckers. High output humbuckers will sound fat and chunky but not as open and detailed as vintage ones.

 

I have the GZR and the NP5 (which is similar to the NP4A) in two basses now. The GZR has a more present mid bump, and the treble is nicely subdued. I’d say the NP5 can get a little more top end grind and maybe has more character. The GZR probably has the sound that better sits in the mix but still stays present due to the mids. Both are fantastic choices though.

 

I am a big fan of Seymour Duncan Antiquity II's.

 

The SPB-4's sound really nice to me, so do the Lollar overwounds. Both seem to be based on a vintage sound but with slightly reduced highs, mid bump, and a hotter signal to give it a more modern sound. Not sure which one is hotter though

 

The Wilde P46 is amazing. Lots of output and clarity, but still sounds like a P.

 

Has anyone ordered one recently? I tried to communicate an order but she didn’t respond to my second email so I wasn’t willing to take the risk of getting my money tied up.
