Classic P

I recently installed this pickup to replace my old one, and the difference is massive. The sound immediately gained much more volume and an impressive punch, bringing a dynamic presence to the mix that the old pickup just couldn’t deliver. The notes are much more defined with a great response to attack.
The only minor downside I noticed is that it’s running a bit noisy (some background hum). However, to be completely honest, this could very well be my own fault during the soldering process or a ground issue I need to double-check in the control cavity, rather than a defect with the pickup itself.
Overall, the massive upgrade in sound quality makes it totally worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to give their instrument a new life and a lot more power!

I had the Tonerider Classic P Split Coil installed in a parts built Precision Bass. I’d heard good things about the brand, and many accounts of comparisons to other quality brands on the market. I’ve played many P basses over the years. This pickup, for me was exactly the tone that I was after. I hear lots of cliché terms for describing pickup tone and I don’t want to fall into that trap here, but I will say that it just sounds how you imagine a P bass pickup to sound. It responds very evenly, delivering on all frequencies. For classic style P, or even J pickups, I find it unlikely that I’d look anywhere else.

I heard great things about Tonerider pickups for years, but I honestly wasn't expecting them to be as good as they are. I will definitely be back if I need to purchase pickups for any guitars in the future.

My only regret is not buying the one with the staggered pole pieces since I have a smaller radius neck, but that's just a personal aesthetic preference.

This is my go-to pickup when I'm upgrading P-Basses- I've used several of these over the years. As the name suggests they have the classic p sound; no frills, just great tone/build quality.
