    So, after watching your video, I picked up one of these for practically nothing. Next, I dropped in a Quarter Pounder (insead of the Relentless), a pre-wired american pots/switch/cap/plug assembly (I'm not great at soldering), added a Hipshot KA bridge, and a set of "drop-in" GOTOH tuners. Then I had the frets/neck professionally setup . Finally I topped it off with a set of Rotosound Jazz 77 short Flat-wounds. Thanks again for the idea! Tim

    I like them purely for the metal covers. Usually, your only choices for p/j pickups are black or white, which can be limiting if you're in an artsy mood. So it's nice to see a manufacturer try something different.

    I bought an Ibanez SRMD200 Mezzo 32” scale bass. Just like Billy said… the edges and corners of these inexpensive P pickups were sharp and hard. Every time I slapped the E string, the corners stabbed into the fleshy part of my palm, below my thumb. It hurt and drove me crazy. Eventually, I pulled out a file rounded the edges and corner.
    Billy, thanks for improving design of the 50-year-old P bass pickup. I’m sure Leo Fender would approve.

    • @LarryDiMarzio
      @LarryDiMarzio 3 года назад

      LOL, absolutely time for an up date. I invented the first P Bass replacement in the mid 70's. I gave it more output, made it in Cream and added adjustable pole pieces. The new Relentless modernized and cleans up the design. Keep in mind that Leo never intended to have the pickup exposed, it had a metal cover plate.

    Upgraded cheap guitars with great pickups... I was a union stagehand on the Las Vegas Strip about 16 years ago... worked on a a setup at the Paris convention hall for a fertilizer convention finale dinner... backstage I saw a bunch of road cases with sixties stickers plastered all over and some old dudes with BenFranklin style long grey hair... I was helping set up setting up the stage... and it was Crosby Stills & Nash! Apparently I was the only person that could figure out how to set up the Dumble & a few effect pedals. I asked their stage manager about their guitars... Squires with Lindy Fralin pickups!

    Hey Phillip! Bought a Harley Benton short scale a while ago with the purpose of experimenting on it, and damn that was a fun project! Made it fretless with some wood sheets filling the gaps, changed the pickups and the bridge (which are actually way more expensive than the whole new bass lol). Can confirm that short basses (never played a mini bass tho, that thing really intrigues me) are a magnet for this kind of things, they're just screaming for it! 😂

    Philip, thanks for this video! I'm a bit late seeing it, but it's brought me some new information that will do me good. For one thing, I bought my first short-scale bass late last year and have been wondering if I made a good choice. Well, this New Year's weekend, I have learned about several short-scale basses with identical or nearly identical specs. The Squier Mini P-bass is one such. I actually like my Ibanez MiKro bass better than I would the Mini as my MiKro has a P+J pickup configuration (with the split coils reversed in position - treble side closer to the neck than the bass side). I'm just now returning to guitarist/bassist thing, and I really needed a bass that's easy to play. I have yet to think of modifications for either of my basses and doubt if my abilities are great enough to justify any, but that DiMarzio pickup is very tempting. I, too, would be interested in a J-bass style pickup done with the rethinking of Sheehan's P-bass pickup. I might get a full set, and even if I don't, I'm sure that there are many players who would. Larry DiMarzio, are you listening? Money to be made here!💲‼️

  • @sparks2749
    @sparks2749 3 года назад

    It's interesting how the vast majority of players down play an instrument if it costs less,... even when you add good sounding pickups (the heart of electric guitars),... the consensus is usually: "Great sound,...kind of sort of",... when in fact most players couldn't tell the difference in a blind fold test. Also,... I have never heard Phil play bass so I was pleasantly surprised! I have a "Green Dean" P-bass I might try these P-ups on,... could be a cool change. Thanks for turning us on to these!
