Wizard Pickups - Any thoughts on the Trad P-bass for a retro vibe?

[Cat Burrito]

I hear nothing but good things about Wizard on these very pages so thought rather than Seymour Duncan I'd give Wizard a go. I like a traditional feel & have heard rave reports on the Area 51 & Stealth pups but wondered if anyone went for the trad pup?

I want a 62 feel on my 2006 USA bass so I'll be ripping out that pointless (for a P) S1 switching etc. I phoned Wizard and spoke with the guy who seemed very cool but just wanted to know if we had any trad users here too. Cheers

I have a Trad in my mid 70's P. Lovely woody tone, plenty of output, nice Andy Rourke tone when played with a pick. Just the ticket for what I was looking for.

Thanks Stinson, woody tone is what I want. This bass is strung with black nylons too so could be a cool combination

I was under the impression that The Thumper was the way to go but after a conversation with Andy, he assured me that the Trads would fit the bill, and he was right! I'm sure you'll be really happy with them.
