rlord Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just a quick question - I want to replace my stock MIM P pickup. Reading around I reckon the Dimarzio Model P is the way forward, but I play always using my Tronographic Rusty Box. I read the model P is high output. If I buy the model P is it going to give me jip with the Rusty Box i.e. will too much output from the pickup make the high gain settings on my Rusty Box redundant? The last thing I want is squealing feedback all the time. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It`s a high output pickup, but has more in the lows and mids, less on the highs. It also breaks naturally a lot earlier if digging in hard. Not having used mine with anything other than an amp I didn`t have any feedback issues so can`t comment on that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Very pleased with the one I have on my Kramer, certainly are high output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 best P Bass pickup on the market, i use mine with my darkglass Vintage on all the time and it sounds gnarly and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topheteatwo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Excellent pickup, make everything just sound better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlord Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Nice one thanks - I'll get one. Now the only problem left is to decide cream or black. I've got a black P with a tort pickguard. My gut is saying go with cream... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 cream looks awesome in a black tort bass, but then so does the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'll repeat. Best p pickup out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I would also check out the new Geezer Butler signature EMGs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Is neck and neck (pardon pun) with G&L MFD p bass type pickup, they are very similar (I have both, with both basses on TI flats).

EmmettC Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cream, they are great pickups, but it has to be cream with tort. Here's mine.

nick Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) [quote name='rlord' timestamp='1397214190' post='2421837'] Nice one thanks - I'll get one.

[/quote] Coincidentally just put a cream 'Model P' in my old black Tokai couple of days ago. Based on Bassbod's recommendation thought I'd try one, as fancied a change from the 'vintage' sounding p-bass tone. It sounds wicked, with a nice growl, some low mids - great on this bass which is strung with rounds. The output is higher than more 'vintage' voiced pickups, but it's not ridiculously high like Quarter Pounders etc... Still a lot of articulation with it, looks cool too . I'd recommend a Model P [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/Basses/modelp008_zps494d9ee8.jpg.html"][/url] p.s. By chance, I've also got a spare brand new cream Model P unopened still in box for sale if you're interested.
