Precision Bass Pickup Swap Easy Peasy 

I dunno, it's been a tough week, you're half in the bag and suddenly one of Dave's video's pops up in your feed. You hear that character laden voice, you see the low-fi production, it's like a 70's tv show - you know he's going to fix the problem by the end of the episode - but you don't care, you want him to AND you want him to explain it to you like the way your grandfather did when you were a child and happened to wander into the garage when he was fixing something up. Dave just takes you back to a time when things were a little more innocent. The world needs a little more "Dave". God bless you, sir.

You may not think it's an exciting video, but for us amateurs it's always exciting to see into the guts of new and different instruments and how to repair/mod them. I'm a techie who's spent some forty odd years in IT and now that I'm retired I'm thinking of maybe doing something like this to supplement my SS (at least staring with setups). The learning is the journey.

Davey : Love the the new intros... As always keep on doing your thang...

Hey Dave! Look what I'm playing in my profile picture. It's the same model and color Japanese Precision Bass from the early 1980s. I did the same pickup swap several years ago and it sounds great!

Scary sounds on that intro Dave but don’t be scared😜

In my humble opinion, Dave's World of Fun Stuff has the best video intros on RU-vid!

Love that Intro Dave! Real groovy man!! Great editing skills ... ... ...!!!

Thanks for sharing. I like this kind of video's. It's clear whiteout any nonsense. I'm gona try this myself. So wish me luck hahaha... 😀

My favorite intro for sure....well done Davey......

These intros are the best lol

The new Yosemite Fender pickups sound good.

I have the same original pickups, excellent bang for the buck.

I have an early 90’s MIJ pbass and put the same pickups in her. She’s the man!

So glad it worked out ! Sometimes it's like watching an episode of I Love Lucy. What could go wrong? Everything!!

I would of picked some Seymour Duncan's SPB-1's personally but still sound good.

Made VS Crafted: Made In Japan = '80s-'90s Fender Japan. Crafted In Japan = 21st century Fender Japan. Pretty much all there is to it.

Great video but I wish you would have stated what the pickup height is supposed to be..

Awesome new intro!

No gooch fest in today's video? Dave must had a most excellent day!

Love the opening🤣

Killer intro!

That’s a nice looking bass!

New rule....P Basses must be test played through SVT/Frigidaires.

01:42 Pete (wearing headphones) : "Thanks Davey".....

Hey Dave, what a intro! Love it.

return of the Hooch Green P-bass

Only reason to remove the original pick up is when it’s broken in my opinion.... I have a made in Japan P bass with original pick ups and it’s one of the best sounding basses around. The new Fender pick up is not going to make a HUGE difference me thinks. But If you believe in it, it will. I guess?

Dave, which tip do you use for your Weller? Cheers.

Nice one, Dave. How long does a squirt of deoxit last in your pots, anyway? I put Stabilant in mine, goes about 12 months. Insanely expensive stuff, though.

An overwound Fralin pickup goes with a p bass like peanut butter and chocolate.

What!?!? No goochfest!?!!?

Hey Dave. Could you make a video on the electrics? I'm sure there's other videos. But I bet your's would be better explained. Love you're stuff.

Hey Dave! When did ya get the Fluke meter? Man you are running BIG TIME now my brother!!!!

Why did you skip the part where you start soldering? I waited the whole time to see it for nothing 😢

Your intro's are the bestest! Keep'r Lit.

Hi dave, love your video. What pbass pickup height for each string you suggest

Hi Dave. I have a Fender Telecaster or a copy of it “ not sure “. The body and neck dated aug 1973 but back plate ends with a 69. I beleive all electric parts have been bought cheap and aded to it. Can I send you a few photos on messenger if ok? thanks

old video - what wattage soldering iron? I'm trying to use a 30 watt but it won't melt the old solder on the controls.

ok. Who at 7:02 in the video tried to lean to the left and look around Dave's hand? /Raises hand.

Hello sir, the positive wire of my p Bass pickup is soldered on the middle of the pot and the Jack is on the left side, there is no tone pot, it sounds ok for me but Just wondering If that might be a problem

Why is the thumb rest below the strings?

Your hands look a lot better. What did you use?

I installed those pickups on my fender player series and there’s this noise every time I touch the pickup. Do you know why that could be happening?

What's up with those stains under the pickguard?

What wattage is your soldering iron for this job?

May I ask what are you going to do with the other pickups?

Made in Japan = Fujigen Gakki Crafted in Japan = other contractors/factories

intro orhestral track is un-shazam-able sadly (for me)

I swear 25% of the price is due to the overdone packaging on most products.

744 views, 0 thumbs and 15comments. Your tube is broken again. Nice refrigerator green. Remember winding your own picups? I think all the lead fumes from my past have changed my mind in kinda weird ways.? Another one bites the bust..crust....just.... ???? Oh yeah, rust..

Noice ......

Oh Dave another one bites the dust😜

“I have to peel the other guys condom” - Dave. 2019

No copper foil shielding or nickel loaded paint in the pickup and control cavity? No wonder so many basses hum and buzz. The ame thing goes for neck shims, they have to be made of hardwood and cover the ENTIRE bottom of the neck pocket not just a a tiny sliver of plastic of cardboard at the front of the neck pocket. That is pure laziness. The neck/body connection is crucial to tone and sustain.

Quiet little start, Dave. Nothing to see here. Nothing to hear here. Nothing to do here. Barely above a whisper....

Aaaaand another Fender.....

That P-Bass looks like pea soup! I hate pea soup!
