Model PB 63
This pickup gives you the whole range of Precision Bass sound variations: bigger, more punchy sound with the unmistakable “whack” of the g-string when it is slapped. A true foundation of bass for the music, particularly when you think of who made this bass sound popular: James Jamerson played almost all his Mowtown hits with his Precision Bass. 90% of the Stax hits were accompanied by “Duck” Dunn´s Precision and at a guess, around 40% of all the worldwide hits were given their bass foundation with this legendary instrument.
Model PB 57
The coils on the PB 57 are historically authentic with Formvar-coated wiring. The difference with the PB 63: the sound has more presence, is somewhat finer and more drawn out.
Size:
2.25” [57.15mm] Long
1.12” [28.45mm] Wide
A blooming low end, and a voice that really speaks to the sound of yesteryear, the Kloppmann PB 63 has excellent vintage P Bass® tone. The PB 63 is open and clear with good attack in the top end, and old school lows. Comparing with another other pickup in the vintage realm: We hear a slightly softer mid range compared the Fralin P, but a little more in the top end in the Kloppmann offering.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.

The PB 57 has a true soft character that we ear as very reminiscent of an early vintage P. There is some scoop in the mid range, but it is just in the right place - notes retain a nice bounce. The top end is soft and friendly. Comparing a couple great vintage-voiced P pickups, the NP4V has a bit more mid range content.
