Do yourself a favor – Listen with a decent set of headphones to get the best listen to the audio tracks in the video. Your phone or computer’s speakers are poor, they neuter bass frequencies and are a true compromise in this situation. Youtube applies compression to all videos, and this does affect the audio quality, unfortunately.

::: Our general feelings about the DiMarzio Relentless P Precision Bass® Pickup :::
Big bottom end, with rolled off highs, the Relentless P is a big rock and roll pickup. Lots of mids and low mids to stay out in front of the guitars. Top end has a bit of crunch that is nice.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
::: Gear :::
Bass: Fender Precision Bass, Made in Mexico
Strings: D’Addario NYXL
Tone is fully on

Audio Recording Software: Logic Pro X
In Logic Pro X, we used an amp modeler, the ’60s Combo’, which is intended to emulate an Ampeg B-15. There is a slight bit of compression and a high pass filter at 40 Hz. For continuity and evaluation purposes, these settings are applied across all of our demo videos.

Andrew Dow is now accepting students!
Andrew Dow is a bass player and composer in Brooklyn, NY. He is known for his modern electric
six string bass playing in a jazz context. His own groups have been seen and heard throughout the City
and have included such heralded players as Michael Attias, Anna Webber, Alfredo Colon and Simon
Jermyn, along with his longtime collaborators Luke Marantz and Jeff Davis. Andrew is also a bass sub on
Broadway, including the shows Wicked, The Wiz and the Off Broadway show The Big Gay Jamboree.
“I made the decision in my early thirties to go back to school, and I knew it had to be to Berklee
College of Music in Boston. I was self-taught and frustrated with what I didn’t understand about music.
After having already spent eighteen years playing music in every style imaginable, I felt the desire to
understand how all of the musical puzzle pieces fit together once and for all. The greatest thing that I
received from music school, and specifically from my time studying with the legendary Hal Crook, was
how to practice music for the rest of my life. I feel that it’s my time to teach so that I can instill the
knowledge and concepts that I’ve learned along the way to others. I’m so excited about music, and I’m
excited to give others the tools to enjoy music at the same level. Clarity of knowledge through
intentional practice. All levels and styles of music are accepted. Let’s get started”

This really sounds great! A nice rich tone to it. Excellent playing as usual!
I always found DiMarzio bass pickups kind of overwound and muddy or with a really powerful upper mid spike around 2-2.5k.
If I wanted a more balanced, even, traditional Fender tone, I had to run the coils in parallel.
This isn't against DiMarzio. I find it a problem with Seymour Duncan's SPB3/SJB3 Quarterpounders as well. Very dark pickups that are better for r&b/hip hop to me than funk/rock/metal where you need a brighter, more articulate sound.
But I'm a guitarist who likes pretty low/even output pickups and then getting a boost from the signal chain or by dialing in the amp.
DiMarzio needs to put more work into their bass pickups. They are only just now getting into soapbar designs. Meanwhile, Bartolini, Music Man, G&L, etc., have been doing new shapes and designs for decades.
In comparison, DiMarzio seems very limited to P and J shapes/designs.
Thanks for the demo.
Sounds pretty hot and fat. Not a polite pickup at all, which is good for rock and metal if you want to be heard. Sounds awesome with a pick.
Would love to hear you demo the Nordstrand Jazz Bar pickups.
❤❤❤
That's a thick one. The look of the Relentless series is a bonus too.
Great demo as always!
