Bareknuckle 58 pickups

[MM Stingray 62]

I'm looking to put a set of new passive pickups in my p bass.

Ive been told 58 Bareknuckle or 61 radioshop pickups are really good has anyone used these and what do you think?

Can’t comment on radioshop but I’ve some Bareknuckle Jazz pups & luthier who installed them was very impressed & he must have heard so many pups, it was the first thing he noticed .. I also use Bareknuckle for guitar & really like em .. my 2c

@Cuzzie has the '58 Bareknuckle P in one of his creations; I tried it briefly and I liked it very much.

Don't suppose I will though!

Oops not quite - they were the Creamery ‘58’s but I am sure knowing Bareknuckle quality it will be just as good.

Really nice tone to mine anyway which suits my liking of a P

There's a geezer on YT showing his skills rather than showing the pickups - but they do sound tasty.  Sounds like new strings plus maple neck so the upper register is well defined.  He, later on, plays in a song and you get a better sense of balance and tone.  Sounds best at the end.  You've probably seen this ...

I've decided on the Bareknuckle 58 pickups thanks for all the advice.

[foxyFuze]

Do let us know what you think!

[MM Stingray 62]

No problem I'm looking forward to putting them in.

How is the 58 set, may I ask?

The 58 pickups are fantastic they tick all the boxes for me.

If you want the James Jameron tone its there but for me it's the 60's 70's Rock tone I've always been after and these pickups nail it.
