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?

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.
