Well, yes I do realize real luthiers only deal in wood ;-) but I also do know many of us here love electricity as well.

So, my fellow repair and builder friends, where do you source great sounding and reasonably priced P-Bass pickups? My fantastic garage pickup winder does J, hums, S and T styles, but no P style, and I'm looking hard to find a source to have those pickups made to my specs.

Any ideas? Canada-based would be a plus, but I don't really mind. I used to deal with a Russia-based winder in the pre-COVID and pre-Ukraine world, so…

Thanks friends!

You can still find Bill Lawrence P-bass units for $55 and free shipping if you are willing to look and wait.

What’s your budget? I’ve never been disappointed in anything out of Jason Lollar’s shop.

Hey Josh, thanks.

I'm looking for great value mainly for classic-style (let's say vintage) builds. I might just as well just use off-the-shelf commercially available units, and that's what I've been doing for my P-bass builds, but what I'm after really is a winder doing great pickups at an OEM price to me. I have my own recipes that I'm used to so I can recommend specific models to my customers, and I like having my logo etched on them as well so that would be a plus too.

I already have a full line for hums, J, S and T styles, but there's this gaping hole for the P style…

You can't go wrong with Lollar's or Fralin's. Both of these guys set the benchmark. I just did a PJ bass and went with he Fralin's.
