Has anyone tried any of these pups for a P Bass? How did they sound?

I use a Melancon bass and specifically requested a Duncan Antiquity P-Bass pickup, along with a Basslines Stingray-styled pickup to give the bass a versatile range of tones. My experience is that it sounded more like my old '66 P-Bass than the regular Duncan P-Bass pickups when playing the bass alone. However, when playing live or in a recording mix, I don't really hear enough of a difference to say that the Antiquity is a "must have".

I haven't heard the p-bass pickup, but I have antiquity II's in my jazz bass and they're really sweet.

The Duncan Ant is as good a p.u. as Fralin or Lollar, but they are the only one that markets a repro of the late '56-early '57 p.u. with the raised "A" string poles. That's pretty cool.
