Dood Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi everyone! Quick question for you all - I used to own a Fender P Bass of the late 60's variety. The pickup had been replaced with one with the afore mentioned polepieces that had allen key err 'holes' in. I can't remember if the poles were actually adjustable as it was so long ago, so no idea if it was just for show. Now, the only pickup I can think of that had said styled pole pieces is a Dimarzio. Does anyone know of any other brands that use the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yup, that'll be a Di Marzio P - the pole pieces were indeed adjustable. Some Oriental manufacturers cloned the design for their models soon after but I'll bet yours was the original USA Di M as it was one of the first after-market, readily available parts to set folks on the road to 'modding'.

Thank you Doctor! - It certainly had a big fat tone and I was thinking about trying one in my CIJ 70's reissue - but wanted to see if it were possible to narrow it down to possible manufacturers. That's sorted that tonal ailment... Now, about this medication I'm taking..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
