MM Stingray 62 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm looking to put a set of new passive pickups in my p bass. Ive been told 58 Bareknuckle or 61 radioshop pickups are really good has anyone used these and what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Can’t comment on radioshop but I’ve some Bareknuckle Jazz pups & luthier who installed them was very impressed & he must have heard so many pups, it was the first thing he noticed .. I also use Bareknuckle for guitar & really like em .. my 2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyFuze Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 @Cuzzie has the '58 Bareknuckle P in one of his creations; I tried it briefly and I liked it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I want to stick BK PUs in a vintage Fender and compare.com Don't suppose I will though! Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops not quite - they were the Creamery ‘58’s but I am sure knowing Bareknuckle quality it will be just as good. Really nice tone to mine anyway which suits my liking of a P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 There's a geezer on YT showing his skills rather than showing the pickups - but they do sound tasty. Sounds like new strings plus maple neck so the upper register is well defined. He, later on, plays in a song and you get a better sense of balance and tone. Sounds best at the end. You've probably seen this ... Peace Davo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyFuze Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 How is the 58 set, may I ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 The 58 pickups are fantastic they tick all the boxes for me. If you want the James Jameron tone its there but for me it's the 60's 70's Rock tone I've always been after and these pickups nail it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
