Fender Squire CV 70’s PBass Upgrade

[BassAdder60]

Just swopped the stock pickups to Dimarzio P pickups 

 

The difference was noticeable 

1: Higher output pickup ( a lot ) 

2: Better mids 

3: growly tone 

 

Really simple swop and with adjustable pole pieces you can tweek things further 

 

A nice improvement I think

I actually think the stock pickup sounds pretty good on my CV 70s, with enough growl and deep warm clarity.

 

Overall I think it's a really great bass. I only swapped the tuners for Schallers.

A good match methinks, Dimarzios were the upgrade in the 70s from what I understand.

My 1971 had the upgrade when I bought it in 81. Would love to know the action it saw in its first ten years.

They do seem very low priced but are they any good? 
 

Price wasn’t a priority in choosing

What are they like? Not a lot of reviews about for them, I like a bright aggressive tone with p basses and always wondered if these would be the magic bullet

Popped new strings on and I’m liking the Dimarzio P a lot .. sounds very punchy and articulate

I’m a big DiMarzio fan. Great products and fantastic customer service. I’ve been using their pickups in various instruments since the ‘70s. They’re always on my list of pickups to check out when I’m in the market. Glad the above are working out for you, they look tasty too.
