  • Great pickup for distortion and overdrive, very powerful.

    I have Fender P bass, no surprise there. This pickup really shines with distortion, overdrive, and fuzz through my tube amps. The dynamic range and tone of this pickup really shows up with all my overdrive pedals, etc. I notice this pickup pushes my amp more than the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups I have in another P bass of mine. The SPB-2 has a more vintage voicing than the very popular Quarter Pound SPB-3. I like the mid and crispness I get with the SPB-2 a bit more than the SPB-3. My only issue (though minor) is with installation, I wish the foam that goes under the pickup pushed the pickup up more. Namely, the foam needs a little more resistance to the mounting screws. I had to use different mounting screws to get my pickup as high as I wanted it. This might be particular to my bass though. Overall, this is pickup is great for heavy/loud music styles: posthardcore, math rock, punk, metal. I don't play mellower music or solid state amps, so I can't tell you if it good for those applications. But I can say that my individual notes were more articulate and filled my space (moved more air) with these pickups. Chords sounded very powerful too.
