uk_lefty Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm tempted to buy a pair of Warman P pups for my Hofner 189 resurrection. If anyone has used their pickups I'd be interested in opinions. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I've got some, a P and a J. They're OK, not bad by any means and certainly value for money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4stringz Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Put one of their MusicMan style p/ups in a Harley Benton bass I briefly had. It was definitely a step up from the stock pickup, which surprised me given the tiny outlay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoulderpet Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 They are good pickups, better than some of the big name ones I have used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Been using Josi's pickups for yonks and currently have them in an old Ibanez Roadster project and I have a P94 in the neck position of an Epiphone Phantomatic (this had a P94 in the bridge, but I pulled it out as I wanted something hotter). Have used his zebra humbuckers in another project. If I needed to replace any pickups, I honestly wouldn't hesitate in going to Josi as a first port of call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn_day Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I've used Warman Twin Loco (hot rails style) pickups in a recent upgrade of an old Hohner B2AFL (fretless). The original EMG Select soap bars were very muddy. The twin rails have much more clarity, even when wired in series. I haven't used his P or J pickups, but would now consider it - particularly based on other positive comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Just posted this in the Bronco thread ... The Twin Locos are great bass pickups! Very sensitive, high output and punchy. Bit narrow though for the bridge position, so be aware. 😎 The E and G strings only *just* go over the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I bought a Fazley surf green guitar just I could convert to short scale bass and Install a Warman quad rail. Turned out great. Another Warman favourite of mine is the Jazz Bar, used them plenty of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got very basic wiring, each pickup goes through a volume pot, then into a pickup selector switch. No tone controls. Sounds fine.
