I am in the dark about all the new basses therefore I can't be too specific.
Have any of you heard the PN. 0992046000 Original Precision Bass® Pickup that is being sold now and compared it to the pickup on the Fender bass 1957 reissues?

Have you heard either of the pickups and what did you think?

I believe that's the pickup being used in the 62 reissue. I don't own a 62 reissue but I've got a 57 reissue and a Custom Shop 59. The difference with the 57 pickup is it's got raised pole pieces under the A-string which make it a little hotter and a little more mid-present. The pickup on my 59 has even pole height across the pickup (like the 62). I don't know how similar the CS 59 pickup is to what Fender is using in their 62 reissue, but on my 59 the tone is darker than the 57, more low end. Both are great sounding although the 59 being deeper sometimes gets lost in the mix and I've had to work my amp EQ to hear it how I want, whereas I've never had a problem hearing my 57 with the band.

Hope that helps.

Which of the two pickups would you pick for a Fretless?
