Vintage Sound, Modern Performance The DiMarzio Sixties P set delivers old-school P-style bass guitar tone with all the punch and growl you can handle, and then it serves up more. These bass guitar pickups feature sculpted metal covers which are much thinner than molded plastic, and with a compound-radius shape that matches the fingerboard arch. You also get vintage-style enamel-coated wire and flush-mounted, fully charged Alnico V rod magnets for authentic '60s Motown soul and funk tones. What's more, the design of these pickups places them extra close to your strings for enhanced dynamics, and their added shielding makes them quieter than stock P-style pickups. Sixties P pickups are also wax potted for squeal-free performance. The bassists here at Sweetwater will tell you: the most important frequencies for punch and presence in a mix can be found in the bass guitar's midrange.
