Where can i buy a Fender Original 62 P Bass Pickup from?

[dave_bass5]

Other than Thomanns i can find any on line other than the USA. I wanted to get it before the weekend but this doesn't look like its going to happen.
Anyone know of any on-line stores that sell them?

Cheers.

Just had a quick look, and my trusty go-to site, Axesrus are out of stock. Other than that, couldn`t locate any in the UK, think you`ll be lucky to find one Dave.

BTW, they also go under the name of Fender Original Precision Pickup - don`t know why, but Fender re-named them. I had one in my MIM P, and it was a definate improvement.

Cheers Guys.

iKay. Thanks for the links. I've sent giggear a email asking if tis in stock. Im not surprised Langtoninfo have stock. At £95 thats way over the top.

Have you thought about Lindy Fralin pickups? They seem to be recommended for getting a vintage Fender tone and sounding better than the original article.

I would love a Fralin, and ive had two in the past so know how good they are, but this has to be done on a low budget. Im figuring £70 max for the pickup so even a second hand Fralin is out of the question.

How about this, Dave, and pick it up from the seller (in Herts) if it can't be delivered in time [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Original-Pickup-set-Precision-P-Bass-/230599211294?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35b0c8b91e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Original-Pick...=item35b0c8b91e[/url]

Cheers Clarky, thats perfect, in fact better than that as he has listed the dimensions as well. This is to replace my Thumper and i need a slightly smaller pup (which looks like the Fender is).
While i wanted it by the weekend i can wait until next week if i have to.

Its funny but i check eBay yesterday and didnt come up with anything in the UK.

I decided to order from Thomanns after all, just to save a few £. Inc delivery came to £66.34. Pretty happy with that.
Wont get it until next week of course but i suppose its best i don't start tinkering with my Bass on the day of the gig.

Thanks for all the help, fingers crossed it fits.
