Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Vintage Pickup for Precision Bass

With so many aftermarket pickup options its overwhelming and difficult to make the right choice. IMO these are a great starting point, very affordable and super solid tone. They have the quintessential P bass sound, warm, punchy, articulate and very even across the neck. I replaced the v-mods than come standard in Fenders American Professional series with SPB-1's, and there was an immediate huge difference. Because these are not necessarily tonally colored one way or the other (like many $ boutique brands can be), but stay true to a great classic P sound, they work for nearly any genre...from classic country to heavy rock. If your wanting to try new pickups for a P bass, start with the SPB-1's.

Great sound great quality.

Non pensavo che dei pickup per basso potessero cambiare il suono così.Stavo per buttarlo via sto basso quando decisi di cambiare senza molta speranza i pickup, che evidentemente erano molto scarsi, e con molta sorpresa ho ritrovato il gusto di suonare questo precision bass ibrido squier fender.

I have a Mexican made 50’s P Bass, pretty much faultless for a P but the stock pickup though not at all bad was just slightly unrefined for my tastes. There was just a hint of distortion on the low notes yadda yadda, my main bass is a Stingray and I also have a Rick both of which have pretty focused clean sounds and my aim was to get the P slightly closer to that. Yep, this pickup did it. Still sounds totally like a P, which is handy as that’s what I wanted but really cleans up the fuzz keeping the fundamental tone. Was going to spend big on a ‘boutique’ brand but I’m glad I tried this first. Solved my problem totally.Mine did come with ‘Seymour Duncan’ branded pickup covers, although a tight fit I slotted the pickups into my own cream coloured covers.In other news, the fact this works after my sloppy ham fisted shaking attempts at soldering leads me to believe fitting it is fool proof. I’m really bad with a soldering iron. Really bad.

perfect fit. Sounds good. arrived fast
