I own a Fender P-bass and I am looking to change the pickups in it, but I don't know what pickup I should put in. I've narrowed it down to the Fender Oringinal '62 pickup or the Seymour Duncan Quarter-pounders. I play a lot of Blues and some classic rock, so I want a pickup that has a good sound for that, really deep and thumping. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate it.

IMHO the original pickups on the USA basses are great.
I wouldn't think that a new pickup is going to give you a different sound.
I leave my USA made basses alone. If you want to put in a new pickup go ahead, but I think it is a waste of money.

I'm a big fan of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups -- they are installed on all three of my Precisions ('51 single-coil, two split-coils). To my ear, they are like the originals only better: deeper, punchier, and louder.
