dave_bass5 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Other than Thomanns i can find any on line other than the USA. I wanted to get it before the weekend but this doesn't look like its going to happen. Anyone know of any on-line stores that sell them? Cheers.

Lozz196 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Just had a quick look, and my trusty go-to site, Axesrus are out of stock. Other than that, couldn`t locate any in the UK, think you`ll be lucky to find one Dave. BTW, they also go under the name of Fender Original Precision Pickup - don`t know why, but Fender re-named them. I had one in my MIM P, and it was a definate improvement.

chris_b Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Have you thought about Lindy Fralin pickups? They seem to be recommended for getting a vintage Fender tone and sounding better than the original article.

Im figuring £70 max for the pickup so even a second hand Fralin is out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 How about this, Dave, and pick it up from the seller (in Herts) if it can't be delivered in time [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Original-Pickup-set-Precision-P-Bass-/230599211294?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35b0c8b91e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Original-Pick...=item35b0c8b91e[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Cheers Clarky, thats perfect, in fact better than that as he has listed the dimensions as well. This is to replace my Thumper and i need a slightly smaller pup (which looks like the Fender is). While i wanted it by the weekend i can wait until next week if i have to. Its funny but i check eBay yesterday and didnt come up with anything in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I decided to order from Thomanns after all, just to save a few £. Inc delivery came to £66.34. Pretty happy with that. Wont get it until next week of course but i suppose its best i don't start tinkering with my Bass on the day of the gig. Thanks for all the help, fingers crossed it fits.
