WHUFC BASS Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Any suggestions for the best replacement pickups for a P bass for playing Punk / metal / hardcore stuff ? I have a budget of around £80. I have tried the Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Ceramic pickups on an old P bass which really sounded nice but wanted to know if there was any other opinions out there.

charic Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love my 1/4 pounders, if you're every over my way you're more than welcome to pop over and try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I think for the music described, Seymour Duncan 1/4 Pounders, as Charic says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 As above, just fitted a set of quarter pounders in my latest project p bass. Haven't actually gigged it yet but sounded good in rehearsal. Will gig it this coming saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Another vote for SD 1/4 Pounder ... unless you can pick up a s/h Wizard Area 51 Stealth pickup off BassChat. Similar to a 1/4 Pounder but even more pokey. Wizard don't list them for sale any more (probably were a bit special interest, although I bet they'd make you one for £70-odd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but SD 1/4 pounder. I stuck one in my P and love it. Have that pickup solo'd and it's as arsey as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpop Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have a set of boxed Nordstrand NP4 pickups for £80 posted. They have great punch, power and a hollow grind, perfect for a powerful bass sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzbass2000 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) 1/4 Pounders. Got a relatively unused set kicking around - PM me and we can figure out a reasonable price, if you want them.

Dr.Dave Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's screaming QP's to me as well. I've always loved mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
