Tim Shaw pickups & the Vintera 2 RW P bass

[Pbman]

I've set out for the new Charcoal Frost Vintera 2 P bass body. Stratosphere had one and I bought.. Not knowing anything about the Tim Shaw designed pickups, I installed a set of 70's I had and stuck on a '65 P neck.

Great bass!!

Now I read, the pickups for the V2 Road Worn P are designed by Fender's Chief Pickup Engineer ,Tim Shaw. The 70's pickups measure 10.61, the V2's are at 11.6 !

I'm wondering how these compared to, many people's fav, the PV 63?

Let me know your thoughts

My meter read the Tim Shaw desgin Vintera 1 50s P pickup wound under 11K .

I been bought a Vintera 2 60s P a while and return it due to QC. I din't measure the pickups , but she sound different (on duller site )compare to Tim Shaw design on my Vintera 1 50s P.
