FuNkShUi Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm starting to use my Precision a fair bit now. Can't fault it apart from the pickups. Bit aggressive sounding for me. Its a CIJ Precision from '97 i think? Something like that. I dont know if the p/ups in there are original or not. I know next to nothing about pickups so i was hoping to get some suggestions from you knowledgable lot. I dont like harshness to my sound. My usual sound is slight bass boost and treble rolled off to 9 O'clock, played on a bass with 8 year old strings. So vintage kind of sound i guess. What you say Basschat? What you say?

Lozz196 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The best Precision pickup I`ve heard is the Custom Shop 62 which comes as standard in the post 2012 Precisions. It`s really well balanced throughout the whole tone spectrum, can be made warm & syrupy, or hard and aggressive, but it`s just a really well-balanced, great sounding pickup. I actually went and bought a 2015 Precision after hearing Sponge Bobs recording of his 2014 that he is/was selling. I liked it that much. The recording was the bass with all eq set flat, and to me it was the best recorded Precision tone I`d heard in years. I`ve also bought one of these pickups for my MIM backup so that both basses sound similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes I did, pretty quick turnaround from them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
