I'd normally go Bartolini, but I think their P pickups are favoured for modern basses.
I like the sound of the Lindy Fralins, but everything seems so expensive now. More than £100 for a P pickup

I also love the EMG P-X. The X series is a much better pickup than the regular one.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I can't afford a Bare Knuckle '58 and I used a meaty SPB-3 in my teens for Sk8er Rock/Indie etc, but fancy a good all-rounder, or something angry like Shuker's JJB. Creamery has a '74 but sod all for demos.
I'm not sure about Dimarzios due to the 500k and .33, otherwise I would have just gone for one of those.

IMO, the frequency response of the EMG-GZR P pickup is tailored to plectrum and fingernail style playing. I find it consistently less trebly than, say, the DiMarzio Will Power M.
The EMG Solderless™ wiring harness employs 250k pots but the value of the capacitor on the tone control pot's PCB is not specified.
