P Pickup Suggestions

[jongor]

I have a '76 P with a hard ash body and maple neck, sounds good, lots of mojo. A j pu was added at the bridge too.

I'd like to get more lows/low-mids out of it, nice big and fat.

Any suggestions on replacement pu's to do this with this wood combo?

Anyone have any experience with Sadowsky p/j sets?

I'm thinking Barts.....

Check out Villex pick-ups.

FWIW....I ended up getting the Sadowsky p/j pu's and installing them passive.

Great sound, pretty much what I was after.

A nice detailed top if I need it, by adding the j, and a really great throaty P tone too.

Solo the P and roll off the top and it's big and meaty like a P should be!

Recommended!

Haven't heard the Sad P-J (but really wanna...) so can't comment directly on them, but I'll recommend the DiMarzio Model P. I lurv this pickup, esp for its lows and low mids. Hot output. Very ballsy, sounds like the tone you'd be goin' for.

Sounds like it'll be a killer bass...

Edit: duh... just noticed that you already got some pups. Now, you gotta tell us (err... me, anyway) how the Sads compare tone-wise to DiMarzio Model P's, cuz I'm real curious about this myself!

I have a Nordstrand P pup in my bass and love the he// out of it
