JeezyMcNuggles Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Dudes these are like the perfect set of pj pickups. Exactly what I was looking for. Played on my ampeg rb112 combo. Flat eq. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 They sound great, I’m assuming at the start it was just the neck pickup? Probably one of the best Precision sounds I’ve heard in a good while, might look into these, which ones are they, underwound/stock/overwound? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back and forth in the video. They're a stock set. It's the "perfect balance set" with the split J and stock P pickup. To me, they're perfect. That P pickup is amazing. And the split J works very well with it. Edited July 27, 2021 by JeezyMcNuggles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's great though, is that they don't do endorsements of any kind. Every single person who has a lindy fralin pickup in their instrument, paid exactly what you paid for them, or more. Depending on customizations. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Cheers. I have a set of Wizards in my PJ at the moment, which are great, but you just hear so many good things about the Fralin's. That's a lot to splash out just to see if you like them, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yup. Yes it is. I've got the stock set in my jazz bass, and they have to be the greatest jazz pickups ever wound. So, when I was looking to swap out my Quarter Pounders in my PJ, I just went straight to Fralin and starting looking around. Glad I did. Sure beats buying and trying out 3 or 4 others, and not being happy. That adds up quick. This bass started with Nordstrands. NP4a and NJ4SE, then Duncan Quarter Pounders, then the Delano set with the 3/8 poles, then back to Quarter pounders, then a set of Yosemites, back to the Nordys, Duncan SB-1 set, back to the Nordys, now its got fralins. I'm happy now 😀 I'm done. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I read quite a lot of reviews when I got Fralin P pickups put in my P bass. The only place that stocked them in the Uk then was Chandler’s Experience in Kew. This was over 10 years ago and the thought of changing them has never crossed my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Bass Direct do them as well, though their website shows the stock/balanced wind ones to be out of stock at present. I`ve been after a pickup that gives slightly thinner mids and these certainly sound like what I`m after. Problem with many that do that is they also tend to boost the lows to a point that I don`t like whereas these sound perfect for what I`m looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nordstrands, while they have that same quirky mid range, are a little heavy in lows, and a little too high in the top also. The Duncan SPB-1 sounded great, but the set just didn't go together right. It drops output, and I just couldn't get the sound I wanted. The quarter pounders are just too beefy, and a little dark sounding. Then together was just way too much of a scoop. The Delanos, again, didn't work well together at all. Completely different output between the two. But, by themselves, each one sounds great for a modern tone. Trash when used together. These, hit right on the mark.
