Billy Sheehan's reasoning for a new shape is totally understood.  It only took 65+ years for someone to make this innovation.

Makes sense. Resting my thumb on P-bass pickups always feels uncomfortable (yes, I know about thumb rests). Good thing I play with a pick.

Is this really something... new? Patentable? Carvin / Kiesel at least has had radiused pickups for quite a while, and I doubt they invented it. Or is it specifically the metallic cover?

[Steve Haynie]

Perhaps DiMarzio was able to patent the curved shape because it is specific to P-Bass pickups.
