Back in the early 2000s, Seymour Duncan was using the name Basslines for all their bass pickups, depending on the model. After that, they switched to
It appears that the bass pickups are quite standard. Perhaps a little snugly fitting, but they should work, and the sound will be fabulous. There is no other pickup I would choose, and you might want to use flat wound strings as well. These pickups are an awesome upgrade and you won't be disappointed.
Selected User Reviews For Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P-Bass Pickup - (New)
It would have been nice to see more low-key moments A 15" orange base cabinet and two 15" end and power strips to help drive my base terror. Despite the fact that these pick ups have more output and a lower end, they lack a clear mid range and high end End of sentence. When playing through an amplifier with a simple equalizer, it can be easy to lose the punch in mid range tone with these pickups. While playing these pick ups clean, the lower end and mid range is very even and has an almost upright bass tonal quality, making notes sound large. Using a dirty amp tone, single notes and chords get lost. I feel these pick ups would be a good match with an Ampeg head and 10 inch speakers or another bright Overall the pickups deliver everything they promise, although they're too bassy and not defined enough for overdriven bass tones. Ideal for pushing the midrange and high end of a bass rig, but loses out when using fuzzed or distorted tones.
This is the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound paper money As soon as I had them installed, I plugged in and played. It was almost as if I was going to push myself out of the room when I turned down the amplifier. A little bit of everything on the lows, a bit of everything on the mids, and really highs to smack you in the back. Then this pickup is for you if you want to make your drums stand out in a mix and everyone asks you to turn it down so they can hear the drums. Try the Fender Custom '62 if you're looking for that. You will get the vintage boom you are looking for if you do that. This bass is extremely loud and dominate, which is what you want if you want to move to the next level of modern bass tones. . . . and the best part about it is the price. When compared to similar offerings, it's extremely reasonable, and you should have no problem believing this is a Seymour Duncan product.
Great pickups, totally worth the money. When I installed the speakers inside the Precision Bass box, the sound changed for the better. More low end, punch and a very well defined high end, without losing that P-bass feeling. There's definitely a more modern sound than a vintage one, but I still found it to be quite effective for blues and funk.
Even though it is the only thing I have changed so far on that bass, the tone control shows it is alive again.
The installation does require you to know how to solder, it is just two cables and instructions with diagrams are included. So the only thing left to do is to set everything up It was just a matter of adjusting the pickup height because this new one seems more "hot," so I have them a little lower than they were originally. Despite that, it was a nice upgrade for a relatively small amount.
Rather than spend extra on an install, this time I did it myself rather than use a company. When I had made certain that everything was in the right place, I removed the stock pick ups and soldered in the new ones I spent an average of 40 minutes set up and taking down. It sounds- As far as the more complete (now) bridge and neck set is concerned, I am very satisfied. There is no wimpiness here, and pups voice at a wide range of different pitches and with a wide range of.
Squire Fender P Bass is a nice bass, but I was having trouble with the stock pickups. The stock pickups did sound okay, but I couldn't get very much volume until I cranked it up really loud, which is still "Plug-in tuners" had trouble hearing the stock pickup, so I tried them out. My guitar would go all of the way up to the maximum volume, then I would use my pedal just to get a decent bass sound out of it. As a result of my new replacement(s), I really noticed a difference in the sound of my bass. Rather than turning the volume knobs on my bass to shape the sound, I can now control it using the knobs. Also, these are made right here in the United States In my opinion, the standard pickups from China cannot be relied upon. I found the installation to be very easy as well. There is no chance you can accidentally wire the new pickups backwards since the wiring is the same color as the stock ones. We all have a little soldering skill, though, but most of us could do it easily.
Both at night and during the The basseys are very good. An output that is somewhat high. It has been 30 plus years since I started playing guitar. My goal is to learn how to groove more by buying a cheap squire bass. The pickup is a huge hit with some classic rock players. Other "real" bass players of other bands have played my bass and have loved it. It should be an enjoyable experience for you bass guys.
