Hi All...I recently scored an '82 "Vintage reissue '59 P-bass :razz: and the p'ups that were in it when I got it were EMG actives (not original). I ripped them out and installed a cheap pair of Allparts pickups that I had kicking around but I know I can do better. This Bass is SO sweet (it's a Fiesta Red that mellowed (yellowed?) over the years to almost a burnt orange due to the nitro paint). I have looked into Fender originals but I ran into a website yesterday that is talking about p'ups made by Fralin....is anyone familiar with these at all? They are about twice the price of the Fenders. I tend to play alot of styles of music, from mellow ballads to thrash rock. Any suggestions from you DIY bassists would be welcome. I know, I know...wind your own!!! If only I had the time. :sad:
