About Seymour Duncan
Seymour Duncan have long cemented themselves as the leading aftermarket pickup brand in the world, offering a staggering selection of models, and doing so affordably too. Throughout their range they have created iconic models that stand the test of time, popular for a variety of guitars and music styles.
About the Quarter Pound™ P-Bass pickup
The Quarter Pound range of SD pickups are incredibly popular, but a standout model from the range certainly is the P-Bass SPB-3. Huge Alnico 5 and a hot output make this a monster sounding drop-in replacement for your P-Bass and used in a variety of music styles. SD's most popular bass pickup for good reason!
What SD say:
"There’s a reason this is our most popular Bass pickup: massive tone. The QP has a fat, punchy tone that pushes P-bass pickups past previous models with design and frequency improvements. The quarter-inch diameter pole pieces expand the magnetic field and extend the frequency ranges for a fat, full, punchy sound with tremendous mid-range presence and maximum output.
Though often used for heavy rock tones, this pickup gives amazing tonal versatility, making it a favorite across the board in live and studio settings. This pickup is a drop-in replacement for any American Standard Precision Bass and is available in 4 and 5-string configurations.
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the massive Quarter Pound high output P-Bass pickups use ¼” diameter alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance. Comes with black covers."

If you are installing them yourself, then I am of course here for any installation advise too.
