Lollar P pickups...blummin' eck!

[miles'tone]

Today I finished a good mod, fix and fettle job on my Squier Sonic P. It's now sporting  a Lollar P pickup, new wiring harness and a set of Dunlop Super Bright steels. I've honestly just been laughing my head off it sounds so good now.  So knarley and expressive. 

Sorry just had to share. I'm smitten!

It’s always nice when a change inspires you. 
 

I was first looking for Lollar pickups for my 79 Yamaha jap pbass. I kept missing some on the used market. In that time a friend offered me some Bart’s. They sang in a way that inspired me to improvise for hours upon hours. I would like to try lollars at one point though.

I've always wondered about and been interested in the Barts. Classic or Original?

It may seem a bit crazy to put in some pickups that cost the same as the bass, but I've had these Lollars in a drawer for a few years but never used them. Forgot about them to be honest. I was having a house tidy and discovered enough good P bass bits from here and there knocking around to warrant buying a cheapy to put them all on. It was either that or sell all the bits. Glad I kept them. Turned out to be a fun little project!
