Billy himself brought me here!
Me too nice shoutout 👍🏻
I kinda forget you’re a bassist first. Chops are unreal.
Right?
Indeed, he should play more often.
I always forget you are a bass player with an obsession for guitars
I knew you played bass but I never knew you could play a bass like that
Plays bass like a boss!
Billy Sheehan is a monster player and absolutely knows what he wants in his gear. love how simple, yet clever this innovation is.
Short scales are rad as hell. My main bass is a PJ Mustang
I love my viola bass short scale
My wife has 9 bass guitars....always plays her Mustang.
I agree, I have about 20 Basses and some of my favorites are my Mustangs and broncos.
@@juneau.bandca would have thought it was an RD Artist my guy
Is there a noticeable difference in sound compared to a normal scaled bass ?
I just bought the same Squier Mini P and this video got me 10x more excited than I already was. Sick skills!!
The tone and look of these is off the chain, off the charts, off the rails. Too cool.
LOL, Thanks, It was a team design. Checkout the article: d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net/s3fs-public/2020-09/DiMarzio_BillySheehan-Relentless_1.pdf
All the best, Larry DiMarzio
@@LarryDiMarzioYOOOOOOOOO U ARE THE GUY ☠️
bro dimarzio replied you
(srry for the bad english)
Dude ! Wicked bass chops ! I love the idea of the Relentless pick up design
You are an excellent bassist. Holy shit the tone man
HOLY TONE BATMAN. Snagging a set of these!
I finally got these pickups installed on my own Mini Precision and they sound awesome!
They sound so much clearer and deep than the stock pickups, and also these things are the most ergonomic pickups I ever had.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
I'd really love a Jazz bass version of these pickups too!
Rumors are that they are forthcoming! ;-)
@@556musicman Can confirm a J Relentless will be coming!
I have this one stock and I love it! I want Jazz Bass like this too!
@@AttitudeCastle This is good news!
Those pickups have Billy's tone for sure! Great demo Phillip!
Simply awesome! Why don’t you review more bass. I’m a bassist an I really want to know my gear;)
Glad you got a good service from Showtime. That's one of the two music stores in my area of WV. The other store (A Plus Guitars) just had an interaction with the person from Gamechanger Audio. Cool that two people I follow found and had good experiences with our area stores.
Ordered these pups for a project, can’t wait to try them, thank you for this video to help with my decision!!! Cheers!
Awesome review !!!
Dam great bass chops and great bass video...;)
Excellent video and playing
Terrific video - thank you!
Great Bass Playing (by the way!)
So, after watching your video, I picked up one of these for practically nothing. Next, I dropped in a Quarter Pounder (insead of the Relentless), a pre-wired american pots/switch/cap/plug assembly (I'm not great at soldering), added a Hipshot KA bridge, and a set of "drop-in" GOTOH tuners. Then I had the frets/neck professionally setup . Finally I topped it off with a set of Rotosound Jazz 77 short Flat-wounds. Thanks again for the idea! Tim
Very nice brother, nicer Billy Sheehan commented on Facebook about the video, it's where I heard about. I just may get these for my P bass !! Rock on !!
Some very satisfying tones here
More bass videos pls. That was great!👍🏻
Dang! You got bass chops. Nice review.
I just got this bass. As primarily a guitar player, this bass is so much easier to play than my full size Fender Jazz V bass. I’m amazed at the difference.
Now I need to get those Dimarzio’s!
I use this exact bass with these pickups and plan to mod the hell out of it. Love it!
simply awesome
Your wish has come true! Relentless J are actually on my next shopping list.😃
Great playing!
Damn, I just discovered these mini Squiers and now I MUST get one.
Finally vids are coming out of people modding these! About to buy duncan antiquity's and a wiring harness for mine.
Beautiful playin man.....luv it,thanks for the vid...lotsa luv from the uk...🇬🇧👍🙂♥️
👍👍👍
Damn some serious bass chops for real!
Thumbs up for no other reason than Phil’s funky slaps.
I had no idea you played bass... so. damn. well. Great demo!
Billy also sent me here.
They sound killer!!
Dude, you’re a great bassist. Could you do more bass content?
Philip, thanks for this video! I'm a bit late seeing it, but it's brought me some new information that will do me good. For one thing, I bought my first short-scale bass late last year and have been wondering if I made a good choice. Well, this New Year's weekend, I have learned about several short-scale basses with identical or nearly identical specs. The Squier Mini P-bass is one such. I actually like my Ibanez MiKro bass better than I would the Mini as my MiKro has a P+J pickup configuration (with the split coils reversed in position - treble side closer to the neck than the bass side). I'm just now returning to guitarist/bassist thing, and I really needed a bass that's easy to play. I have yet to think of modifications for either of my basses and doubt if my abilities are great enough to justify any, but that DiMarzio pickup is very tempting. I, too, would be interested in a J-bass style pickup done with the rethinking of Sheehan's P-bass pickup. I might get a full set, and even if I don't, I'm sure that there are many players who would. Larry DiMarzio, are you listening? Money to be made here!💲‼️
SICK Slap Bass chops
More bass videos!!
My next project this exact setup & second these pickups for a J bass 👍🏻
MORE BASS VIDEOS PLEASE!!!
Hell yeah loop jam was saucy I was definitely feeling that
Thank you Thomas
OMG THIS IS WHAT I NEED
I have got to have a set!!! Beautiful idea
Very cool, punchy sound! I decided to install Relentless(DP296) for my Tiny Boy (23"scale) Bass! Thank you!
Sounds absolutely crazy.
I love my Squier Mini P. I have owned a tone of full scale and short scale basses since 1987, and the mini P sounds better than most. Even with stock pickups. I am going to put a thumb rest rail on mine using the top two pickguard holes nearest he neck joint though.
Love that mini bass
I just mad it took this long to get poleless stainless steel pickup covers on a P-bass pickup lol
I like them purely for the metal covers. Usually, your only choices for p/j pickups are black or white, which can be limiting if you're in an artsy mood. So it's nice to see a manufacturer try something different.
DiMarzio! Radius everything please! We want it! We need it! We've lived without it but no longer! And a P V version if you're feeling generous 😊🙏
I bought a cheap glarry bass just so I would have one to record with. ( im primarily a guitarist) it could seriously use a pickup upgrade. Might try these out.
rad skills, man
be safe, be happy, work hard
peace \m/
I'm getting these and putting them in my Fretless Glarry.
Awesome !!
Hey Phillip! Bought a Harley Benton short scale a while ago with the purpose of experimenting on it, and damn that was a fun project! Made it fretless with some wood sheets filling the gaps, changed the pickups and the bridge (which are actually way more expensive than the whole new bass lol). Can confirm that short basses (never played a mini bass tho, that thing really intrigues me) are a magnet for this kind of things, they're just screaming for it! 😂
Also, please more bass content! You're an amazing player as well!
I just shared this to a friend.
Watched your video because I'm interested in the Relentless Jazz pickups. I guess DiMarzio heard your request!
the funky bassman! sounds great...
It's interesting how the vast majority of players down play an instrument if it costs less,... even when you add good sounding pickups (the heart of electric guitars),... the consensus is usually: "Great sound,...kind of sort of",... when in fact most players couldn't tell the difference in a blind fold test. Also,... I have never heard Phil play bass so I was pleasantly surprised! I have a "Green Dean" P-bass I might try these P-ups on,... could be a cool change. Thanks for turning us on to these!
Smokin bass skills. Very nice.
I'd be down for a MusicMan Stingray version. I've never been a fan of my particular MM pickup.
Just watched a video with Billy Sheehan where he said there will be a Jazz Bass version, so your wish seems like it'll be granted
I put one in my custom Warmoth. Best, hottest, passive split coil I've ever used hands down. Yes, they need to make a similar coated and rounded j bass pickup similar chock full of magnets.
Now I need a set for my Mustang bass!
Upgraded cheap guitars with great pickups... I was a union stagehand on the Las Vegas Strip about 16 years ago... worked on a a setup at the Paris convention hall for a fertilizer convention finale dinner... backstage I saw a bunch of road cases with sixties stickers plastered all over and some old dudes with BenFranklin style long grey hair... I was helping set up setting up the stage... and it was Crosby Stills & Nash! Apparently I was the only person that could figure out how to set up the Dumble & a few effect pedals. I asked their stage manager about their guitars... Squires with Lindy Fralin pickups!
These things sound EXACTLY like Billy Sheehan. That's wild.
Hi! Love your videos!
Will there be a review of this bass? :)
whoa, ur a pretty good bassist!
Please post more bass videos!
Woah, Phil, not to dis your guitar playing but bass is clearly where you shine. I had no idea you played like that.
Gonna put these in mine! Thanks for doing this video! What strings will fit this little bass?
I bought an Ibanez SRMD200 Mezzo 32” scale bass. Just like Billy said… the edges and corners of these inexpensive P pickups were sharp and hard. Every time I slapped the E string, the corners stabbed into the fleshy part of my palm, below my thumb. It hurt and drove me crazy. Eventually, I pulled out a file rounded the edges and corner.
Billy, thanks for improving design of the 50-year-old P bass pickup. I’m sure Leo Fender would approve.
LOL, absolutely time for an up date. I invented the first P Bass replacement in the mid 70's. I gave it more output, made it in Cream and added adjustable pole pieces. The new Relentless modernized and cleans up the design. Keep in mind that Leo never intended to have the pickup exposed, it had a metal cover plate.

All the best,
Larry
I would like to see them in a configuration that could replace the EMGs in my Spector bass.
SWEET!
How do you set up your amp to get that perfect slap tone? Awesome stuff!
I think Dimarzio is one of the few brands that offers black chrome-covered pickups, it looks cool.
You should review Billy's Yamaha signature model!
Wtf good bass playing holy shit
if anybody finds the small "nobs" on top of the pickup are a problem they should look into the Yamaha 304 it has dedicated cutout for your thumb
Just ordered some today. Fucking stoked
Honestly, the coolest thing about these pickups is METAL COVERS!
Billy Sheehan just tweeted this YT video on his Twitter so here I am!
I'm gonna have to pick a mini p bass up just for looping purposes. Although I never played a bass before. I'd like to try and learn though.. nothing beats a good funky bass line
I would love to try these on my 1980's charvel jackson pbass
Gee you are a kick ass bass player Phil!
I ordered a Set Direct from DiMarzio. Patiently Waiting 😑😁
I'm a guitar player and been wanting to play bass for a while now. Maybe this will be cool.
Damn that slap felt great - Davie would approve
Gotta tell my son about those!
How coooool!!!
Man if they had a J I’d put them in my PJ Ultra!!
The tone out of those pickups is amazing.
I've been casually looking for a P bass for a while. I'm kinda holding out to see if Fender re-releases a road worn P bass, or for the right medium scale MIJ to become available. After watching this video, I went straight to Reverb.. luckily, I didn't find anything that for what I was looking for.

@@LarryDiMarzio Thanks! I just have to find a bass to put them in. Those pickups are phenomenal.

All the best, Larry
that's a big ukulele you got there
Yes to the J Bass set!
Great video
Since it is short scale, did you have any problems getting strings to align in the pickup poles
Used Dimarzios with my stock pbasses occasionally and it always worked out so I'm not surprized. Will check these pups out. But this mini bass was floppy, It just didn't feel solid when I played it, it was more like a bronco. As soon as you dig in it's wtf land. I'm in the market for a new mid-priced shortie; maybe the G&L Tribute or Sterling .
Oh wow Phil I didn't realize you were primarily a bassist. That lick in the first 2 minutes was a shock.
What would you think about maybe throwing a set of these pickups in a Jackson Minion mini bass? And if you did, since that model has a Jbass bridge bar, what would you pair with them?
