Replacement PUPS for Squier Precision

Not certain but probably just standard Squier pups. It's only recently since the VM series that the Seymour Duncan designed pups have come in & even then bear in mind they are "designed" not made by SD. It really depends what you are looking for pickup wise. Personally I use Seymour Duncan and Wizard pickups as they suit my style / budget but there are a million pick up makers out there. I go for the 50s / 60s traditional sound but you may want a bit more beef etc. Stating what sound you are after might get you some more helpful responses. But certainly putting in a replacement pickup will bring the bass to life a bit more

+1 to that, change of pickups can dramatically change the sound of yr bass, even between different models by the same manufacturer. I`ve established that the pickups I prefer in P-Basses are those from the US Standard Precision. Have tried others, but these seem (strangely enough) to sound more like a P-Bass to me than any others.

No need for upgrades in mah town!

Thanks for the advice guys. Was just wondering if the stock squier PUPs on these things were pants back in '96.

Recently built up a Precision with a Jazz neck, all with bits from ebay collected over a couple of years. Used some pickups Squier I think, that were lying around and was sorely dissapointed. Have now fitted these; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kent-Armstrong-Precision-Bass-Alnico-Hot-Pickup-/150480556590?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item230957122e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kent-Armstrong-Preci...=item230957122e[/url]

Theyre great, it sounds loads more like an old Fender than my 91 Mex Precision does. And for the price, well worth a go I reckon.
