Sound: This pickup has a full and fat sound. My fender precision standard improved greatly from it. It has become an integral part of my "rhythm bass" sound (I'm looking to switch over to a quarter pound jazz and musicman replacement for my Fernandes Tremor, my "lead bass"). Quality: Seymour Duncan... need I say moire? THe man is known for making great pickups. Value: Worth ever penny. The Wow Factor: Very good pickup. Again, it's part of my sound. The sounds is good for most of what I do. I play some free form jazz that my fernandes is better suited to, but that's due to bass type, not the pickups. Overall: I don't need to change pickups in my precision ever again (in all likelyhood).

Sound: These pickups completely changed the sound a my p-bass copy (fullerton). Man these things do every thing as advertised. Feature: very cool and beefy looking Ease of Use: This was my first time soldering (only burned myself twice) ,actually they were easy to install, did it in about an hour. Quality: these go to eleven!!!! Value: I would recommend these to anyone who is tired of the sound from there p style bass. Mine sounds awsome since the install. The Wow Factor: If you are using stock pickups you don't know what you are missing.

Overall: Among other basses, I own a Yamaha RBX460 that has been heavily modified. Part of the modifications done is replacing the stock PJ pickups. Yamaha pickups have come a long way since the time that I bought this bass, but they stunk back then. Anyway, I replaced the Yamaha PJ set with a Basslines Quarter Pound P and Quarter Pound J Bridge. I love the set. The installation was tricky, but I think only because I had never installed pickups before this. I love the P bass tone this pickup provides. I also like that it is noise cancelling. The Quarter Pound J at the bridge is NOT hum cancelling though, so when I play this bass in the studio, it is my go to bass for P-bass tone. I recently converted the bass to fretless, so I can't wait to record with it again!

Sound: I baught this pickup along with the mathcing jazz pickup for my fender deluxe, unfortunately, they sound almost exactly the same as the factory pickups. im sure theyre great for anyone with a cheap squier or foreign made fender, but if you have american fender electronics in your bass, dont bother with these. Feature: Came with covers and screws, but no supporting spogne or whatever, so i had to peel them off my old pickups. They should be included. Quality: Made very well. Value: Should be a little cheaper (based on my experience with their similiarity to my old pickups). Manufacturer Support: I'm sure theyre great, never ahd to deal with them. The Wow Factor: Definately wanted it a lot, ever sicne I picked up my first bass (where these would have improved it), however on my current bass, it only deeped the sound, which is a plus, but maybe not so much for the money. Overall: I'll never buy other pickups.

Sound: Great Sound. I put the P Bass and Jazz Bass pick ups on my Ibanez. I own a 1963 Fender Jazz Bass I purchased new in 1963 and my Ibanez with the Seymours sounds as good as my vintage jazz. Feature: One thing I had to do, is file the Jazz pick up cover a little to fit. Quality: Solid Value: For Sure! Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: N/A Overall: I would have purchased sooner if I would have known how good the sound would be.

Sound: I guess it improved my tone a little in my bass. I should notice a huuuuge difference though considering that its a SQUIER, thats right a SQUIER p-bass!! When I max out the highs, it sounds way too peircing and the lows are a bit muddy. I guess I need new gear (SVT-3Pro combined with an eden 410 cab, no better match!) when I get the money :( Feature: eh... Ease of Use: not that hard to put in, just need some sautering skills :) Quality: didn't blow up yet... Value: the tone gain wasnt worth the money :( Manufacturer Support: didn't need it yet... The Wow Factor: don't really care for it. Overall: I'm not the guy you should be listening to if your looking to buy this pickup cause I didn't do it justice with good gear, i'm running it through crappy hartke gear.
