• Refreshing sound, great price!

  
  As reviewed by Paul on 7/14/2009

  Freind gave me a 2002 squire P-bass so before I chunked it in the trash I figured it might be nice to keep around the house. The pick up was shot so I got these Quarter Pounders on the advice of my Guy at Guitar Center... WOW... Easy to install and sound great. You will need to pay close attention to the mount hieght. I used high density rubber foam (0.99 at a craft store) to fill in the space under the pick-up. This gives you the Profile needed to "catch" the strings. Once in, these babys will purr and buck with little noise. At very high volumes they dont perform as well as the EMG's in my Dean but that is a different Beast... ...get them now!

• Amazing Pickups, Great for any syle

  
  As reviewed by Greg on 3/4/2011

  I bought a Cheap Squire P bass a while back and installed the SPB 3's and it sounds amazing now, many people have asked me how my bass sounds so good only being a Squire and i point to the pickups. These pickups sound amazing for Jazz, Rock, Metal, and Funk. I was so impressed that i went out and bought another set for my Ibanez Gio that i modified, This thing now sounds like a Pro's bass. These Pickups are Straight up amazing, and have a price that wont burn a hole in your wallet. I've heard many people say that active pickups and electronics are the way to go, But these pickups state the exact opposite. I highly recomend these pickups to anyone with a P bass or a P J bass set up that want a better sound, you wont regret purchasing these pickups.

• Totally renewed my old bass

  
  As reviewed by Les Paul 25-50 on 12/22/2010

  I have a Kawai bass that's over 20 years old. Stock, it had Schecter pickups (1 precision, 1 jazz). So far I've only replaced the precision with this SPB3 pickup (wanted to see if it was worth it before getting both) and bypassed the existing tone knob with in/out switches for phase or who knows what. Just pickup to volume knob to pickup balance knob (it never used a 3 position switch) to 1/4" jack. Nice clean signal path. WOW!!! I always liked the feel of my bass but never was too impressed by the sound until now! It's made ALL my mixes sound HUGE! Even after adjusting height on my old pickups, the individual strings were never were at the same volume (low E loudest, quieter as you switched to higher strings). This pickup solved that problem!!! Thank you Seymore Duncan and thanks Guitar Center for having it in stock at my local store and for a great price!!! I'll be back to replace the jazz pickup for sure!!!!
