Best 5 string P pup

[Peaty]

Hello Basschaters,

I am thinking about a P type pick up for a on going 5 string project and there seem to be plenty of choices for these. I would like to get as close to that big fat p thumping sound and I wondered if anyone had any recommendations.

So what is the collective basschat wisdom on the subject. At the moment I favor the EMG versions but that is largely down to the sound of their 4 string P pups.

Many thanks
Peter

I had a similar search recently and came across 2 manufacturers who did a P shaped P pick-up for a 5 string
