Fralin knows what you love about your P Bass®. That’s why they don’t take any of that away: they only give you more. They use USA-Made AlNiCo V magnets and 42-Gauge Heavy Formvar wire to give an era-authentic 50’s tone, only thicker. Fralin P Bass® Pickups offer a significant upgrade. At Fralin Pickups, they believe the best sound comes from the highest quality materials available.
Fralin P Bass® Pickups are like their J Bass® Replacements: they have a huge fat tone. Fralin P Bass® Pickups are fat, punchy, and round. The lows are deep and rich, and the highs are sweet and clear. The first thing you’ll notice when you install these pickups is how you can hear more of your P Bass®. You’ll hear an extended low-end and a rounder top-end. These pickups are very vintage sounding, but with modern power.

Lindy Fralin has been making this P bass pickup for a lot of years….and he has the tone dialed in very well. The Fralin P has nice full warm lows, that are slightly ‘pillowy’ - in a pleasant way. The pickup has a medium to soft piano like attack. There is a bit of emphasis in the upper mid range…if you are looking to hear the difference between this pickup and the comparable Nordstrand NP4, that is where we hear it - the upper mid range is slightly more pronounced.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
Awesome awesome pickups. I've been wanting to install these on my Lakland P bass for awhile now, and I'm so glad I did. My all-time favorite knob may just be a passive tone control, and these pups sound incredible throughout the entire tonal range.
They were shipped well, professionally, and quickly.
Thanks, Fat Bass Tone!
Extremely knowledged about their products and very easy to order from. I am on my second bass with custom parts and it’s fun to deal with such an efficient company. Thank you FBT..
This is by far the best sounding P Bass pickup that I have ever played. Perfect sound--vintage, fat, present, as simple as possible without being too simple, just the most essentialized electric bass tone possible.
When my newly-ordered Lindy Fralin p-bass pickups didn't work, I reached out to Fat Bass Tone customer service for help. Not only did they help troubleshoot the issue, they were awesome about facilitating replacing the defective product. I will absolutely shop with them again.
Purchased a set of Fralin pups for a P bass upgrade. Fast shipping, easy transaction. Enjoy working with Fat Tone!!! Thank you.
