A superb P Bass® pickup that is clear without sounding overly bright. The top ends presence will sound very pleasing to most bassists. There is a solid heft to this pickup, with a forward facing mid-range that doesn’t get too honky. The low end is strong & clear, but not overly warm or too fat. The PMVC4 FE/M2 has been in the top 2 of our best selling P Bass® pickups for several years.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.

Ok, I bought this pickup last summer, had it installed a month after the fact, went through some technical drama with my long time repair/tech guy and all of this resulted in my lb100 being benched for a few months. Enter a few weeks ago, I finally found the spare time to fix the mess my tech caused and the actual results are nothing short of devine!! There will be another review of the Stellartone Bass 10 that was installed with. Wow!! Huge yet cultured output!! It has the pbass rasp I love and then some! I initially tried it with a 500k pot and heard a slight upper sheen over the 250k so either way, it will work. This is the 3rd pickup change I've done with my LB100, the second was a DiMarzio Model P and the first was the OEM. The Delano EASILY blends the Nasty Rasp of the Model P with the vintage growl of the OEM Alnico 5 pickup and adds a bunch more volume.
This one's a keeper!!!
These pickups sound great and got great service from Fat Bass Tones. Quick shipping too. Highly pleased.
I haven’t received the body the pickup is going into yet but the service and shipping you provide is unmatched
Thank you!
threw this into an old Peavey Unity bass to match up with the Delano JMVC FE. HUGE tone, sounds tight and clear with the tone rolled off, clear articulation, especially with ghost notes. that's a win! very impressed. quick delivery. well done, all.
I love short scales, but anyone who's played them knows that there's a tradeoff for the weight and comfortable scale: harmonics. Short scales have a great fundamental thump to them, but they don't cut through a dense mix as much because they lack some of the high end harmonics that a regular scale would have.
Case in point, my Mustang PJ bass wasn't cutting through the way I wanted. So I did some research and found reviews that said these Delano pickups enhanced the high end quite a bit. And those reviews were right!
Obviously my Mustang still sounds different that a regular P bass would with these pickups, but it now has enough of that high end snarl to come through the mix, both live and recorded. I'm super pleased!
My only complaint about the pickups, and it's small, is that they didn't just go with a standard radius for the dogear screw mounts. Instead, they're pointier. This means that when I tightened the pickups down as far as I needed to, they top of the dogear started to split on one side of each pickup. I was worried about it at first, but the split has not expanded in the couple of weeks I've had this, and the mounting holes go the full depth of the pickup, so I don't think they're actually going to break. Still, it was startling to see that happen.
I won't take stars off for that though. It's about the tone (and to a lesser extent, the look, and those huge pole pieces look sick), so full 5/5 stars from me.
Fat Bass Tone was also great to work with. Good packaging, quick shipping, and great information on the site!
