get kev77 to put up clips on the rio grande. i would go for them after seymour duncan antiquities.Timi wrote:More dredging, but I just wanted to say thanks to Tony for putting up those samples of the Nords and QPs. Less difference that I thought there would be, often the case with pickups....
I am putting together a P Bass and those are the two pickups I am considering. Got Nordstrands in my Jazz but I'm not sure about them in a P, I appreciate the classic P tone but I think a slightly more modern take on that would suit me better. I've had QPs in a P before and remember liking it, but feel free to talk me into something else, modern but not too modern, passive of course.
Just gotta choose between alder or ash now.....
I know this is about P basses, but if anyone is interested here is a direct sound sample I made comparing some Jazz pickups. MIM, Rio Grande (Muy Grandes) and Norstrand somethings (the classic single coil ones).

Ordered Quater Pounders.... I've had them and liked them before, plus good value for money and fairly easy to sell if I decide to change them later on.
