Reinvent the wheel all you want, but don't charge more than double the going rate of your competitors.

Thanks for dropping your review. I think this just saved me $250. The pickup seems underwhelming. Would love to see it in a shootout on the same bass with standard P pickups by Aguilar and DiMarzio.🙏

even through the RU-vid compression these pickups sound noticeably different. I like the way they look and don't hate the way they sound perhaps the pole pieces need some adjustments or a higher pot value. I want to check out the Jazz set. Cheers 🍺🇨🇦

If you ever do get these pickups I'd carefully adjust the pole pieces. Even with a flathead screwdriver, they felt a bit cheap to turn 👀

The geezer butler emg is a better value. I have the p/j version in my squier and couldn’t be happier. They are cheaper and retain that clarity and attack. Plus it’s a solderless system.

@@denattheoakleyoutpost6740 the j pickup in the pj set is a long j so it may not fit every bass always check your measurements. The j pickup is also quieter then the p. If wired correctly it will all work. I switched 2 wires on the output jack and it hummed it’s supposed to be noiseless. Emg pots are solid shaft and won’t fit press on split shaft knobs.

Thanks for the review. In Australia 🇦🇺 they retail for a WHOPPING $450. Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders retail for about $170, almost three times less. The DiMarzio Relentless DP299s also with adjustable pole pieces retail for $219. Way too much, in my view. 🤘🎸🎸🤘

My favorite pickups still to date are the nordstrand np4a I also like the np4v Depends on the bass with that. These pickups are okay. I replaced my am pro II pickups because they were way too bright on the attack especially with a pick and they were designed by Tim Shaw also. Peoples opinion could be different it’s just a me thing on that.

Fender has to do something. Folks just aren't gonna jump up and plunk down their $$ for the same P bass they bought last year or ten years ago. That said I have to say that my Nate Mendel with it's S. Duncan Quarter Pounder pups does all that but better. No need to buy this "New Hotness".

The modern version of these costs less than half of those Fender pickups and they sound great!
