Good P-bass pickup, extra low mids.
Think of a classic P-bass pickup with a tad less highs and more low mid punch. Very pleasant woody tone. The tone sits extremely well and cuts through in the mix or with a band.
The sound became too mid/low-mid heavy when I used old half-round strings and old flats. I use D'addario XL nickel or DR nickel and stainless and the sound is great, I guess the bright strings are balancing out the low mid boost. For the archetypical Precision Bass sound I would look into the Fender 63' Pure Vintage which I also have. But for a great P sound with a slight twist, the SPB-4 is perfect. Steve Harris tones are of course easy to achieve (not like the man himself of course....!)
I had it on my bass for more than a year and I have no plans of replacing it, very happy with it. The price is right too.!

Perfect!
If you play with fingers, your instrument will give you exact punch-chime and right feeling. Not bad for other styles too, if you prefer high "clink" sound. Sorry about bad english.

Steve Harris Pickup
This pickup replaced an already good Bareknuckle pickup as I was looking for more mids on my 60's re-issue Fender P bass. It was well made, well packaged and it did exactly what I wanted.

Good pickups
These pickups are screaming Steve Harris's signature sound.
When I Installed them bass sounded just like Steve's... It immediately got that famous clang in the highs.

Good
Really like the tone of this pickup. Installation is...ok. Not a expert in soldering, but it went fine. If there would be plug and play option like some other brands, that would be great.
