I was looking for a high output, QUIET replacement pup for my Fender P. Bought this (in white) and never looked back. This pup has higher output, increased range and is DEAD quiet.

Okay, so I was fixing up a '94 Yamaha RBX when I stumbled across these babies. First thing; the looks. They LOOKED good. Second, the tonal range. P-basses only have one tone nob, but you wouldn't know that with these pickups. I can go from funky tones, to a warmth that melts hearts. Third, the price. Eighty bucks?! For two induvidual humbuckers?!?! ARE YOU SERIUOUS!?!?! Bottom line, if you're looking into being a solo-bassist, or just a player of a p-bass, and you're looking into replacing your pickups, these are the ones to do it with. P.S.- I have a Bootsy Collins signature wah with distortion. These pickups even take DISTORTION well!

I replaced my older pickups since they souded weak, powerless (I own a MIM Fender). The difference is not amazing I must say, but the sound improved a lot. The bass sounds louder and brighter, specially on the low and high notes. If you want mid-range power you should get some new strings also. The only thing I didn̴��t like was the color, in the images they look like silver, but they are white, very, very white.

I put these in my low-quality Peavey Milestone IV and with new strings on that baby and these pups it sounds very unique. It has the qualities of a P bass with the snap of a J. I am very happy with my purchase.

I had these pick-ups professionally installed in my Ibanez P bass along with a pro set up. I couldn't believe the difference in sound quality. It sounds better then more expensive bass guitars I have played now. So, if your thinking about replacing a bass, try these bad boys first. You won't regret it.

I had bought these pickups to replace the DiMarzio DP122 pickups I installed in my Fender Pre back in 1978. But after 32 years of the same old sound. The DiMarzio DP127 pickups almost have twice the power output of the single coil DP122s. The DP127s brought new life into my old Fender Pre Bass. Slapping and popping the strings have become much easier to get the punching bass you get from a slap and popping the strings are much brighter now with a whole lot less of an effort to get the brilliant highs you get from popping a string. And when I do attack her like I used to when I had the DP122s on her, "Oh baby" me old P bass sounds like she's a getting a spanking. Add a set of XL5000 GHS Super Steels to your setup if you like slapping and popping strings and she'll squeal for you. But then again that's my taste, yours will probably differ from mine.

Nice and rich tone. To get the full effect, you should really slap on a new set of strings at the same time (definitely roundwounds and preferrably stainless steel for the full tonal range). If your strings are worn out, these pickups will make it all the more obvious. With a new set of strings, these pickups had more sustain and more clarity on the low end as well as more upper midrange clarity. It reminds me alot my Rick 4003 when switched to just the neck pickup with the tone pot all the way up. It also gives a usable slap tone - something stock p-bass electronics don't do well. They are also alot more quiet that the stock p-bass pickups on my '98 P-Bass.

I wanted to upgrade my MIM P-Bass Looks & Sound so I started with a white pearl pickguard. I then thought it would probably look cool with white pickups rather than the traditional black. So after checking out some reviews, I bought the DP127s. I got a little more gain, the output is even over all four strings & they sound Great! It seems like it enhanced the Lows & Highs a bit.

A very nice pick-up update. Creates a nice sound than the pick-ups that come with the Fender Precision. Makes the bass more booming and makes warmer tones sound more smooth.

These have a really punchy sound and huge output compared to most P-Bass pickups. The sound was too much for my church group even with flat-wound strings. Then I tried using the sponge mute under the strings AKA James Jamerson and other Motown bassists such as Danny "Mo: Morris. The bass gets down into the mix better without overpowering the voices. I would say it's a nice combo.
