Guitar Prewired Loaded Pickguard for Fender Precison P Bass Part Black

Do not expect this to be amazing. It does what it needs to and will require some adjusting. But keep realistic expectations. I recommend.

I got a bug up my butt recently to play instruments again thanks to Leo Morachiolli and Two Minutes to Late Night on Youtube and Covid 19 (and working from home). I had an old JB Player (who???) electric bass in my parents basement just sitting there so i thought I'd pick it up and see if it worked. It didn't. I remembered seeing pickguards with electronics recently for some reason so I decided to do a quick search and found this one. Installed it today with some dremeling (because even though it looked exactly the same, it wasn't) which looks awful but the base actually works with my new amp. The old electronics produced very little bass and a ton of noise due to the corrossion. This new pickguard sounds surprisingly good considering the prices and my bass looks super punk thanks to the terrible job i did dremeling it. We'll see how it goes over the next few months but for 16+ bucks it was totally worth it to get this old thang running again.

I picked up a Austin Bazaar bass on the side of the road, rebuilt it and ordered this setup. I had to do a minor adjustment around the neck area, but I was able to fit it nicely, and now I have a bass for my home studio!!!!

Let me start by saying that I did not use the pickguard. My bass isn't a Fender and already tried to use a p bass replacement and it didn't fit so no surprise neither did this one. I used the prewired electronics. Wire gauge was a little light but the soldering was good and they sound smooth when tweaking. The pickups are a nice medium output slightly mellow tone and not a lot of hum or buzz. Really can't complain about anything knowing what I know and the pickups were a huge upgrade from what was there.

wow, I did not expect these pickups to be this good. I have a vintage Squire that to me it seemed like it had great sound, specially it being older. I took it apart to paint and refinish and ended up messing up the wiring in the process. Without wanting to spend $100-$200 for my ideal pickups, I decided to go this route, since this is not my main bass anyway. Once I completed the project I was amazed. I would have been happy just getting sound, but I got much much more. I did have a MIM Fender p-bass before this one, and the sound with this pick up is far better than the MIM. Now, I am not comparing this to the higher end Fenders, but for you Squire and MIM guys, you would not be disappointed.

I wanted to replace the wiring in my bass since I was getting a lot of feedback on my amp. I didn't know how to solder, so I went with this product since it also had the pickups and the scratchplate. When I went to install it, the scratchplate didn't fit around the fretboard. No problem, I'll just put the wires and pickups onto my old one. Nope, the pickups don't fit my old scratchplate either.It was cheap, but just worthless to me.

Not sure how to rate accuracy or stretch. For the money it is incredible value. It didn't fit my squire P bass pre drilled holes (from around 2001). But that was easily sorted by drilling new holes. I put a screw into the cavity for a ground and it worked pretty well. It brought an old bass that electronics had failed back to life for under 20$. 5/5 imo - I wasnt expecting pickups that will compete against a 200$ set.

Pickguard was not even close. Only 3 holes matched. I took all the electronics off and transferred them to the old pickguard. Works fine.
