Hi guys I am thinking of upgrading my pickups in my Fender P bass now I really know sweet FA about Pickups Do I need hum cancelling or not? I normally play hard rock/metal I would really like an SPB-3 quarter pounder but are there any alternatives out there worth looking at I quite like the look pf the Tonerider TRP1 it seems like it has a fairly hot output 11k but that is not hum cancelling (does that matter) I have also looked at the Tesla Pro P bass pickup that is dual coil? but seems fairly hot at 11.2k but like I say I really dont have much idea about them to be honest and my bass is passive.Thanks in advance

The SD Quarter Pounder would probably really work well for that sort of music Paul. I`ve had them when I was doing heavy rock in a Precision and they fitted very well. Give some good break up, and a more modern sound, a kind of metallic twang to the top-end, if that makes any sense - certainly more definition on the highs than the regular Fender pickups.
