‘51 P-Bass pickups
Pickups · San Antonio
Description
I wound 3 variations of ’51 P-bass pickups for my friend Creston Funk to try out, a lower wind Alnico 3, a higher wind with .195 Alnico 5s, and a similar pickup with .250 Alnico 5s. He’s been graciously sending his impressions and clips as he tries them out.
Recorded with .105 Flatwounds and Langevin DVC preamp.

> It’s got great pitch definition, nice attack, sweet bottom end, and most importantly, it’s got the vintage vibe. It really brings out the character of the bass. – Creston Funk.
