RedVee Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I have just purchased a Fender Player Series P Bass and I am looking to change the stock pups. I have heard a lot of good feedback on the GZR pups and I wondered if any members have them in their P Bass and if so how do you rate them?

Dood Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have a brand new set sat next to me that I have been promising myself to get installed in to a bass.. I will be comparing them against the pickups in the bass and also the EMG HZ Passive P pickup too. If I pull my finger out, I will record samples of each for a BassChat review. Time it seems is not plentiful when it comes to setting aside some 'me time'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I had one as part of a PJ set in my Squier VM PJ. Wasn’t too impressed with it to be honest. Ended up replacing with a Dimazio DP122 and was much happier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than personal preference i guess. I thought the P sounded bland and a bit lifeless. Might even have been down to the bass they were in. As i said, once i replaced it with the DP122 the bass came to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 There is a large thread over on TB about these pups. Loads of fans and plenty of info and sound clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wotcher Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yep put them in my 73 p bass when originals were getting a bit tired/scratchy. Lots of playing through headphones but love them. Sounds like a p should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
