Heads up to Precision players. Fender part# 0992046000 is the Original Vintage P-Bass pickup used in the American Vintage 62 Reissue. This is the one with the integral brass shielding baseplate and mounting foam already all assembled and wired up.

It has dropped off the Fender Pickups product page on the site here. The American Vintage 62 Reissue is apparently being phased out and likely so is this pickup. If you ever wanted to try one, your time may be running out. Many online parts dealers still have them in stock still but they won't last forever so get off your lazy duff and get you one right now.

This is the best Fender P-Bass pickup I've ever used in a passive P-Bass, period. Glad I've got mine!

Online prices vary from just over $60 to about $90 so shop around.

I should really search these out; hunt them down, and buy (charge) two pairs. Then I'd pay a good tech to rip out my SD Quarter-Pounders without so much as a second thought. I need to rebuild my Precision anyway. Thanks for the 'Heads-Up' Bro. Dave. 8)

So far Darren Riley has the best price on them I've found today.

Same things for the '57 P-Bass.

The '57 split pickup was never sold as a separate product.

I think Fender slowly pulls out the '57, '62 and '75 AVRI basses from production to replace them with a fresh bunch of new "pure vintage" basses which didn't come into surface until the 2013 NAMM show in January!
