Precision Bass Pickup Comparison - No-name Ceramics & Fender Original '62s

[@Kabozha]

that ceramic one sounds pretty good actually. or it is due to flatwounds that makes everything sweeter. i also chose fender original '62. to replace fender mim ceramic and the difference was much more radical.

[@Jh0st]

Great to actually hear the differences in the mix for a change! The '62s fill in so much more nicely both in terms of a subtle compression and frequency response in relation to the drums.

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Great analysis!

[@Amhotep999]

Great playing, so smooth.

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Cheers!

Seems like the Fenders were fuller, warmer, and had better harmonic overtones, but the ceramics had a nice growl. If it were my bass with the ceramics, I wouldn’t see or hear the need to change them.

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Yeah agreed, personally prefer the Fenders but equally nothing "wrong" with the ceramics.

[@bflo1000]

The only reason to change would be if you couldn't replicate the 62's sound w a good preamp.

[@NorCalBASSIX]

Absolutely killer playing and comparison video.

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Thankyou!

[@kevinkosach2189]

62's have that nice low mid bump. I'd be rollin' with them.....nice playing!

[@tellarjj]

Very good sound from this bass, 62... I have a Fender PJ original1969 model , not so bad...

[@luisfernandobelmonte3951]

Original 62" 👏🏻

[@jonathanchevallier7046]

Maybe the fender one is more precise and warm. But the no name is not that bad. What do you feel when you play the bass ? Thank you for this comparison.

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Yeah I agree, the no-name wasn’t bad at all. The ‘62s are definitely more balanced and tighter sounding, and the highs aren’t as brittle as with ceramic magnets. Glad you liked it and thanks!

[@rodrigocostamagna3896]

any positive differences in between both...

[@Klaus80804]

I like the P-Bass with a J-neck. My favorite combination!

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Same!

[@edesoliveira3853]

Original!! 👍

[@bflo1000]

62's all the way.

[@totobass624]

Orignal👍

[@bapt_andthebasses]

Are you sure it was ceramic? Doesn't sound like ceramic pickup are all. Great neck

[@KlemensCathcartBass]

Yeah I’m sure, asked a Luthier as well for a second opinion. Cheers
