PJMVC4 FE/M2 - Black
DIRECT DROP-IN RETROFIT FOR MOST P/J BASSES®
AGGRESSIVE, YET CLEAR
FORMIDABLE LOW END WITH TIGHT MIDS AND HIGHS
MADE IN GERMANY
Solid fundamental tone that works for all P Bass tones but also takes it a step further with the unique pole piece design
I replaced the stock pickups in a MIM 2017 Deluxe Active P-bass at the same time I installed an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (prewired - well worth the extra cost) in place of the original Fender circuit.
The first time I fired everything up after installation, it was obvious that the bass sounded much better.... either passive or active. In A/B tests against a 2022 USA Professional II P-bass and a Tony Franklin fretless PJ manufactured back in Dec 2005, with rounds on all basses, the Delano MVC4 has more attack (punch?) and notes are more clearly defined, especially below low G. I would NOT say "brighter" or "sterile"... just more defined. The Delano also seems to put out a bit more volume than the stock pickups. The FE/M2 by itself produces a nice Jaco/Chicken tone. For me, the sweet spot in the blend control is equal P and J. The neck and bridge pickups are much more balanced with each other volume-wise than the ones I replaced. All in all, these pickups were a very worthwhile investment. Thanks to Max for the recommendation!
Love these pickups...any amount of grunt in this set!
When I received the Delano PJ-MVC4 FE/M2 pickup set, I was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the product. The space inside the housing is fully potted, magnets on top side nicely polished with even height to the tight-tolerenace housing holes. The pickup screws are included as well as the silicone tubes for height adjustment - works way better than foam strips. The wire leads are nice and tinned at the end, which makes soldering job nice and easy.
Now the tones. Neck pickup soloed exhibit an unmistakable P-bass tone, Bridge pickup soloed exhibit a great funk tone, both at various levels of tone knob settings. The relative volume of these 2 pickups are the most balanced that I've played out of P/J sets. I like it best with both pickups full, giving it a very warm and pleasant tone, and I can vary between warm and bright by playing up and down the fretboard. I do not regret this purchase, and I hope Delano pickups gain more traction here at the U.S., because they blow many other similarly priced pickups right out of water.
Delano PJ-MVC4 FE/M2 4 String PJ Bass Pickups
This set combines a JMVC4 FE/M2 Bridge pickup and a PMVC4 FE/M2 pickup.
JMVC4 FE/M2 Bridge Pickup:
The gorgeous visual impact of their 9,5mm pole pieces is clearly audible: Ultra fast transient attack, powerful low end response, detailed midrange and brilliant highend for direct in-your-face, take no prisoners bass tone. Even the very bottom range of drop tuned basses will stay tight, focused and alive. JMVCs can handle massive tone tweaking and interact superbly with active circuits and effects.
PMVC4 FE/M2 Pickup:
The big poles grab all the strings movements with zero loss. Specially engineered magnets and custom wound coils make up for a bass transducer ready to redefine the word PRECISION. Just imagine meaty P-Bass® tone with in-your-face Stingray® style grind and attack, and then you got at least the frame of the picture. Due to its tight broad frequency range, this is a GREAT pickup for nu-school funk and rock players, it loves drop tuned basses and massive tone tweaking.
Size (P Bass®):
2.22" [56.4mm] Long
1.08" [27.4mm] Wide
Size (Jazz Bridge):
3.74" [95mm] Long
.73" [18.5mm] Wide
