BassBod Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've used one a few years ago - the answer is Probably. You might also find you have to file the scratchplate a bit? Mine seemed a little "oversized" compared to most. My best P pup experience was the Dimarzio model P - a really good sound with plenty of mid range to give definition. I thought it was better then any "real fender" I' heard...but I've only heard a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 hmm not sure. I use them with an East pre and the sound is big and solid but I wouldn't say a vintage tone. It is a Jazz on steroids but I'd prefer a bit more character and less grunt. My Barts with an East pre get there better, IMV. I'd give them a call ( Kent Armstrong ) on their 01233 number and talk it through with Aaron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
