superb! true vintage flavor
top quality built. totally silent pickups. perfect.
my fender p-bass has an american heavy ash body and maple neck. it produce a punchy highs. i was looking for pickup set that will suppress and cut some of the too-trebley sound.
i installed Dimarzio P122. these are excellent pickups, but are not the flavor i wanted. too much highs and too modern in eq and sound color to my taste.
since all reviews always point to the Fender Custom Shop pickups as the best upgrade for Precision, i've decided to choose the '63 pickups over the '62. they have a different eq curve.
my bet was successful. the p-bass's sounds is now deeper, sweeter, pleasant growl and has a real vintage warmth that i wished to achieve.Read full review

Great vintage sound
If you’re looking for a vintage P bass sound with punch, this is a great pickup. Sadly Fender discontinued making them a few years ago, so supply is limited. Very easy to install - one hot wire, one ground wire. Read full review

Great Pickups but may have to trim medal plate..
The medal plate under the pickups..
had to be cut to fit into my Fender Bass..
Not a big deal but I was surprised about having to cut them with snippers.

Old school thump!!
More powerful sounding than the original '62. More bottom end. Love the '62, but like these even more. I'm using the recommended .1 uf cap instead of the .047. The tone knob rolls off more off the top end now. Sit's in the mix with the rest of the band perfectly. Definitely my favorite P bass pickup so far!!Read full review

Great sounding pickup.
Much better than the ones CBS made in the 70's that always died an early death.
It has a nice "throaty" midrange with the tone control rolled back a little.

The low end!
I bought these pickups to replace the originals in my 50s reissue. These definitely have a better low end growl. The mids cut
well the same. I definitely recommend these as a replacement. You won't be disappointedRead full review

Do it
This pickup sounds really sweet! I chose it over the Duncan GZR and I have no regrets. Nice gain and good growl. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Oh that ‘60s thump, yeah baby
‘60s thump at its best. Add flats and a Fender P bass and you got what blues and rock was meant to be.

Powerful sound to rock the place
Real thunderous Fender precision bass sound with these pickups and good balance overall.
