  • New Bass Pickup Day

    Just arrived a few hours ago. This is going in my Squier Classic Vibe 60's. I had gotten some pickups from a forum bro (alex1fly). Tried them out and while I like the Fender Player pickup best of the 2 I got, there is just something missing. I'd been wanting to grab the Steve Harris model since I got it and always told myself that is the one. Was worth a shot trying a few others beforehand. I *might* get this installed tonight while I wait for a work call to start. Late night changes.

    I tried a bass with these installed, and to me, that's the way a P-bass should sound.

      I love that pickup. I think it's the best classic modern pickup I've ever tried. Like Mincer said, it sounds like a P Bass should sound, completely authentic. Then it's enhanced in all the right ways to add some aggressive mojo.

        Got it installed. Ran through some songs with it. Yup. That’s the ticket. That is how a P Bass should sound. Excellent feel and response.

                I've got one, and it sounds great, but I use my dUg Pinnick one more.

                      I love my Fly Rig 5 v2.

                      Really glad I went for this pickup. The bump in the low mids is great. There’s more clarity, more touch sensitivity, more control. Plenty of punch.

                        Nice. I've never heard one of these. I'm currently planning on replacing my orange O bass pickup with a QP P bass pickup. How does the Steve Harris sound compared to a QP P bass?
                        It's funny how some stories became historic,
                        especially when the authors clearly wrote them to be metaphoric,

                          Do these work best in front, or in a loop, or direct into the power amp?

                            I’ve not tried the QP but there are several comparison videos on YouTube.

                              In my experience with the FR5v2, Yes. Lol. All 3.
