Fantastic playing! I have the Fender '62 and the Duncan SPB-3. I have always liked the SPB-3 but they get a lot of hate from the online bass forums etc. The Fender '62 (similar to Duncan SPB-1) is a much more neutral/natural sound so it would be easier to apply any number of EQ or other processing to but the baked in sound of the SPB-3 is exactly the right sound for my tastes and I always preferred it in this demo.

I own both sets of pickups and like both sets of pickups. I used the Fender 62 pickups when I played in a surf instrumental band with flat wounds and the Quarter Pounders with round wounds in the guitar heavy garage band I was in to cut through the mix. From your comparison, I can hear the Fender pickups are a bit more "Burpy" and the Quarter Pounders are a bit more even with a wider tone spectrum. Almost like they are slightly compressed. So, I would choose either one depending on what type of music I was playing.

The QP is really bottom-heavy. If you're into that it's fine, but a word of warning: you can always dial in more bottom from any P bass pickup by changing your amp EQ or using the tone knob, but not every pickup is tuned to deliver good mids or high end. I prefer the vintage style pickups for this reason.

Thank you for playing bass lines that actually allow for a distinction of tone and articulation, instead of playing noisy-clattering improvised slap-lines, harmonics or tapped lines to show-off your technique. What you did was demonstrate your musicianship, which is a far more rare thing on KZfaq. In blind tests it is the case that my ears are so preconditioned by experience that I always chose and prefer the Fenders, because it seems that anything different, better or worse, is too much of a deviation from what my ears expect and want. The challengers as such are always either too much of a thing, or too little of it.

Very useful and precisely made video comparison. Although I like instruments with a more modern sound, in this particular case the Fender sounds more serious and characterful to me personally - it has enough volume especially in the mids and lows, it's more focused, and in the recording fits very precisely. The Duncan is a good alternative for experimentation, but it doesn't really differ much from the pickups that are massively put on budget Squire instruments (which also sound quite passable for the price). But still, it's all a matter of preference, so here's a good choice between one and the other world of P-bass.

Oh wow, I was expecting the '62 to sound better to me, but I didn't expect the difference to be so huge! The '62 are just on a completely different level, so much more dynamic, lively, deeper, far better growl, more balanced! Even louder, something I really didn't expect. I had a similar experience a couple of days ago when I replaced the stock ceramic pickups of my Aria RSB Standard with a more vintage AlNiCo5 pickup from an FGN bass - it really opened up and got that growl that I wanted to get! I'm not sure if this is really caused by the magnet material or the construction, but in every comparison so far, regardless of the pickup type, I preferred AlNiCo because it tended to have richer mids and a more open top-end.

The SDs are thicker.. but a lot of that is the stuff I end up high-passing. At least for the great playlist, the fenders sit better in the mix imo. Keep in mind that fender had plenty of wire on hand and no doubt experimented with winding pickups to extremes to find the most musical configuration..

I had some of those Seymour Duncan pickups in a very old MiM P bass. I remember thinking how when I was first getting into modding my instruments I would find I loved the tone of a pickup by itself but would hate it when I was actually playing in a group. Ultimately I realized that the SPB-3 was the perfect example of a pickup that sounds cool solo, but when I got a Fender American P with the 62 custom shop pickup, I realized the vintage style pickup works so much better in the mix. Honestly most of the Fender stock pickups work just fine these days - no need to upgrade!

Great video, great music choices, GREAT playing. And thanks for using flats. I've been wondering about this bass, and these pickups. By nature, a vintage pickup will be more midrange oriented, less highs and lows than a modern sounding pickup. But I found the QP very balanced, VERY nice low end you could feel. It's the kind of low end that you hear through the music and supports the band. That's what I want out of a Precision and flats. By comparison, and maybe just in this recording, the Fender pu was smaller, with less low end. Mostly what was left was higher mids. Some might like that, because you can hear string noise, and other sounds, but that's not really why I would choose this setup. I would love to have heard an A/B between the two bridges.
