Vintage Firebird P Bass

Vintage Firebird P BassUsing the same construction methods as the original Firebird pickups, these capture that great vintage fat, doubled up single coil clarity, sparkle and power. Modern versions tend to be overwound and use ceramic magnets, making them harsh and overpowered. Mine, however, like the early 60s originals, use AlNiCo 5 bar magnets, coupled with a steel reflector plate to increase the overall inductance of the pickup. They are wound with 42awg plain enamel to

4k (bridge) and 6

but reduce the chances of any unwanted microphonic feedback caused by the cover or baseplate

while the bridge maintains great clarity when driven

or with arch-top style (Casino or ES-330) chrome
