Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P-Bass Pickup - (New)

These really are the best pickups for a P-bass in my opinion. The difference in tone and output in comparison to my stock Squier pickups means that there is no comparison.They’re packaged well in a sturdy plastic box with all fittings, although in my opinion, the screws are a little short so I used my original screws. This may just be because of the depth of cutout in my bass.They’re a direct replacement for stock p-bass pickups which makes installation easier, and come with foam to help lift them into the correct position.Instructions are provided, but you do need a soldering iron and good soldering skills to replace them.Took me about 20 mins from strat to finish to install and it made my favourite bass to play sound pretty amazing.If you’re only doing 1 mod to transform your p-bass to sound better, this is the mod to make.

Okay... I had stock pickups in my Japanese 1984 Fender Precision and it sounded epic. A real 80s bass machine. .. but when I stuck the quarter pounders in there it as like. . . . 'I'll take your brain to another dimension!'. But now I have a session quality instrument with banging tone and super depth. So its a yes from me. . . get these puppies in your bass asap. . . yes stock pickups are great but these our #mindblowing

I bought these Seymour Duncan Bass Pickups because I've had experience with other Seymour Duncan pickups in the past and my experience is that they are usually very good quality. In this regard, I have not been disappointed. The pickups were very easy to install into my Fender Squier Precision Bass and the output range was much better than the originals. In addition, They look very much like the originals but have much improved sound.I was happy to purchase these through Amazon as I usually get good service in that the items are delivered in good time and are not too expensive. Again, I was not disappointed, they arrived within days and I was able to install and use the pickups in quick order.

These Seymour Duncan 1/4 Pounders make a Squier P Bass sound like you have just spent 2k on a proper Fender, i honestly cant believe how much of a difference they have made, nice twangy high notes with tons of sustain, turn the tone control to the lowest position and the low notes are seriously Bassy, perfect for Dub Reggae. The amount of extra control with the tone is incredibly. Very very easy to fit, best upgrade ever. BUY THEM!!!

O.K. I am a total No No when it comes to guitar tech. All I know is the guitar front men like distortion (lots and lots of distortion until you can't hear the notes or the oh so frequent mistakes) , but these pickups..... Oh yes! Powerful, clean, excellent reproduction, and a remarkable increase in control over tonal range using the same bass guitar electrics, namely a simple fender precision no bells and whistles, so full marks D. S. SBP-3. Delivered on time at a good price and a really worthwhile upgrade.

Upgraded to the SPB-3 from the stock Squier pickups, and although there isn’t a massive night and day difference there is enough of a difference to tell. Very simple to install, very great sound, all around a decent Choi endor an upgrade.

These are superb pups for the price. I've bought these a couple of times now, obviously to replace the existing ones - once on my Precision Lite which I turned into a very decent fretless with a highly varnished fingerboard. The sounds created by these SDs combined with said fingerboard can lead to some very satisfying noises right across the tonal range. I actually think these are superior to the original Fender pups in terms of tonal range - crisp highs, well defined middle and very warm lows, but more excitingly a very believable 'Jaco' style growl when called upon!

Replaced my Fender stock pick ups with these and really made a massive difference to my overall sound, much more balanced in terms of highs and lows.

Like most people, I was confused as to how I would upgrade my MIM P-Bass pickup. Meaning, there is no lack of choice when it comes to after market pickups for this style of bass guitar.As I never found the stock pickup all that good, as it lacked tonal range etc.I watched all the YT comparison videos and read the reviews here on Amazon (check out Manotick StringWorks - Fender Precision Bass gets new Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound SPB-3 Pickups... nice upgrade!) and made the choice. Glad I did, no regrets. At around $150, I feel was a very good and reasonable upgrade for this Bass.The swap out/in installation was very easy as there are only two wires that need to be soldered, and the 4 screws to mount the new pickup. Everything fit perfectly. If you have an after market pick guard, you may need to do some minor scaping if the fit is too tight.Happily in the Low-End.

Hairy f’n power or back it off and it’s pure velvet.

Muy contento con la adquisición de estas pastillas para un Ibanez Rbx200. Las pastillas de serie ya sonaban muy apagadas, por lo que al cambiar la electrónica con estas pastillas ha pasado a una muy buena vida. Ideal para estilos agresivos más tipo hard rock. Buena definición y pegada!

...car en remplacement de capteurs d origine inconnue(en chine) sur une basse de gaucher dimavery a 70€ sur ce site(y en a plus) , alors bien sur que la difference a ete extra ordinaire!!! fini le son plat et retenu,les basses pleurantes et les mediums aigues qui font tilter les tympans... avec ce changement,c est de la rondeur jazzy qui passe a la claque du hard si on titille un peu... bref,c est un vrai plaisir que de jouer(?) sur une basse moins chere que ses micros!!quand a l installation ,un bon fer a souder de 60W aura raison des soudures sur les carcasses des potars.pour ma part,et celle de la gratte a 70€,j ai proffité pour isoler/blinder un peu toute la partie arriere des micros/potars avec gaine tresse metal autour des fils et scotch alu sur toute la partie creusee dans le bois,le tout bien relié a la masse : resultat nickel,bien moins de bzzzzz rrrrr ou autre.pour ma part,les seules remarques seraient des vis fournies un peu courte (c est mieux pour ne pas traverser l arriere de la caisse) et de mousses autocollantes pour plaquer le micro (en plus des ressorts)et eviter les vibrations pas assez epaisses; mais c est surement le design de la caisse qui est particulier.saaaalut!!!

Pick up passivi molto ben fatti, eccellenti per dare nuova vita a vecchi bassi in disuso da ripristinare o semplicemente per aggiungere brillantezza al suono del proprio precision bass. Misure perfette, nessun bisogno di adattare battipenna, necessario stagnatore per collegamenti (ovviamente), una goccia di colla per attaccare le mascherine ai pick up e provvisti delle loro viti, gommini e cavi per connetterli ai potenziometri, ma sprovvisti di molle, ma basta riutilizzare quelle originali già nel basso.
