Beedster Posted September 18, 2020 Author Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks for the comments folks, been a funny old week and had to put a few things on ice so urgency for a '51 not quite as great as a few days back, but might still investigate the PUPs, and possible a '51, when the dust settles a little.

krispn Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) There’s an Andy Irvine demo up where he plays these but it’s not always ideal listening online. The 51Split J’s are a nice set of pick ups but an overwound stacked 51 in a 51 style p might be closer to what you’re after? The splits are good and make a nice sounding neck pick up (and a good Jazz set). Solo’d I’m happy with the neck in that it puts a out a convincing P sound. To be fair it’s probably not that far removed from a solo’d jazz neck in saying that I nabbed this set to have that jazz sound and P sound coming from a jazz bass and fit’s the bill! I just A/B’d with my P bass (it’s a reverse p with flats so not like for like) but yeah the Split 51 does what you’d expect for a 51 pick up. Not very helpful but describing tone is such a subjective thing. I also have a HB 51 which has a Wilkinson pick up but I think there’s something not quite right with the wiring. The Split sounds fuller and more p like than the HB/Wilk but I’d really need to sort that out before making judgement. Edited January 31, 2021 by krispn Quote
