Pickup Kit for P-Bass


Read 4 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Build your own pickup for the classic P-Bass® sound, or wind it your own way for custom output and tone. This kit contains the vintage-spec parts you'll need for making the classic split-coil configuration.

Choose Alnico 5 or Alnico 2 magnets:
Alnico 2 magnets give a warmer tone and low end response with smooth, singing highs. Many builders use them in the bridge pickups of solidbodies.
Alnico 5 produces a brighter tone with a tighter low end and stinging highs. They're great for neck position pickups, to help keep the tone clear without getting muddy.

holes in top fiber oversized

This is my first kit with a problem. the magnet adjusted well in the bottom but the top fiber passed through, I had to glue it. Also the plastic cover was undersized, after a little sand, fit well.

+1 on "minor flaws"

The bobbin top and bottom do not line up. The supplied cover doesn't fit. Neither does a Fender cover. Other than that,they are nicely made.
This is the first problem I have had with any pickup kit.

A couple minor flaws

Easy to assemble, the instructions are easy to follow too. The issues I have are the height of the magnets not being vintage spec, the polepiece spacing being off, and the plastic covers that come with the kit don't even fit the pickups...
