    I replaced pickups in my old Madeira bass. They were thin-sounding, weak and I think there was some short. After 35 years, I used my gift card and treated myself to these pickups. I wired them myself, tested them out, and was floored. Nice, powerful sound, strong tone and more harmonics. There are no negatives with this product. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for tone improvement.

    The one problem I had with my 1975 Jazz Bass was I had to watch where I was on stage so I didn't walk into a feedback zone I got this nice Fender PJ Bass and I knew Seymour Duncan made pickups for Fender way back so when I saw Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders were humbuckers for my PJ bass I had to try them and they were exactly the sound i was looking for!

  • I love these pickups

    When installing these would I need to change the pots to a 500k? Or would 250k work? Looking to purchase new pickups and pots but want to make sure I purchase the correct pots to match these pickups.

    These pickups are passive, so if your bass has active pickups in it, you would need to possibly remove the battery and other electronics as well as the original pickups.
