Lindy Fralin are one of the premier makers of custom wound guitar pickups. These pickups for Fender Precision Bass are a great upgrade and anyone out there with a Mexican JB should seriously consider fitting these.
This set of vintage style Precision Bass split coil pickups are and exact replacement pickups set for most '57-present Fender Precision Basses. Stock vintage output with killer tone! Construction features include Alnico V magnets, black fibreboard coil forms, '50s style Heavy Formvar coil wire, black plastic pickup covers and cloth covered output leads. Just like the old Fenders the Fralin coils have an RW/RP (reverse wind/reverse magnetic polarity) relationship for a humbucking effect and are wired in series. We measured 11.0K ohms across the output leads on a sample set; that's just a bit hotter than the stock pickups.
So, you've got a nice new USA Precision that sounds pretty good, why should you replace the pickups? The bottom line? The new Fender Precision Bass pickups in the USA Vintage Series instruments sound very good but the Fralins are even better, closer to the fat tone of the old ones and they have tighter balanced coils. If you play a variety of musical styles and want to put out a solid clean sound with a big bottom end and clear highs this is the Fralin set for you.
If you have a Mexican, Japan or other Precision Bass you should upgrade not just the factory pickups but all of the electronics right down to the output jack and every piece of wire. You'll never hear how good your bass can sound if you don't have good pots, capacitor, jack, wire and solder 'under the hood'. Strangely we have some great bass upgrade kits.
