reverend P pickups -- $18!

[matrok]

Ultra Jazz or Model J?

Not a clue. I don't even remember how I acquired the thing, and I'm only partly certain that it is indeed a DiMarzio.

I got this fretless from a friend and wanted a J pup added, may have gotten it from the guy who did the work. Sad how my memory is turning to Swiss cheese.

"Just saw on the Reverend site that the pickups are down to $12!"

I just ordered three pairs and yes, it's $12 for a 'set'. I asked them about four times to make sure that $12 each actually meant for the 2 halves.

They only have the 7.3K and 8.7K I ordered the 8.7's because I want a fatter bottom.

Got the 8.7K P-bass pups. No wiring diagram though.

Question: They have a white and black wire; I'm assuming

White - Hot
Black - Ground

Correct?

I have a 72 P I like lots...I also have a Reverend 10k ohm pup sitting here. But if ain't aint bigger and hotter than what's in the P already, I'll just save it for science further on down the road...anyone know what a 72 P oughta be rated at?

Here I was thinking I was the only person who had noticed this awesome deal. Dropped 'em in my MIM P, haven't wired it back up yet.

I found this thread a few months ago and ordered some of these 8.7's. I never did give a proper thank you to everyone for the info and tips, I'm very pleased (though I'll bet that anything is better than the stock MIM this P came with). Anyway, if you haven't picked up some - do it! Or better yet, don't, and there will be some left for me to get some extras .

JonnyChicago; Could you give us comparisons of the Reverend pups VS. your original pups?

Yeah, I'd say it's definitely a fatter sound. More along the lines of the full/rock sound I was looking for (see: Shellac, Don Caballero, Fugazi). It's hard to explain, I guess a bit more defined highs and lows. Definitely fuller though. It's been a long time since I switched them - hopefully that helps a bit!

Just wondering here. Would they fit in a Squier? I'm hesitant to buy anything right now because I have no idea on what will fit anymore. :'( Its times like these I wish i had a stingray.

They'll fit in anything with a P-bass shaped split pickup. Including a Squier.

after reading this thread and other reviews i decided to buy an 8.7 p replacement to put in my bullet bass (yes, i know it will require some pickguard cutting and maybe routing a bit since the bullet has a slightly smaller pickup)

just letting you all know...i wanted to order two - and couldn't since i got the very last one!

 

[matrok]

Really?!?! When I was there a few weeks ago there was still a pile of them. Maybe it was the 7's. Oh well. I have one more set for future use.

 

[Minger]

Yeah, was about to order today and found out they're out.

I'm not sure how a 7 would sound in my Ibanezes or my friend's Squier.

I got the fourth to last one a couple a weeks ago!

if they have 10s left, order one of those and use 500k pots.

[matrok]

Just checked, all that's left are the 7.3's

 

[ihateusernames]

yep, 10's have been gone for a while

 

[ihateusernames]

Okay, which resistance tone and volume pots work well with the 8.7 p version? I'm going to assemble a new pickguard/wiring to swap out. Standard Fender 250's best or would 500's work better? If so, in what way would you say the are better?

 

[robb.]

that is a good suggestion, though i have found i really like the sound of 500k with .047uF. it turns out the stock pots in my old P copy were 500k (i had no idea). no wonder the sound is so bright and aggressive.

Stupid question and I know this doesn't belong here, but has anyone tried their OEM guitar pickups? I'm considering trying a set of humbuckers for my Agile Guitar.
